Penn State students reflect on the loss of fall sports, football

The constant hum of student sections and alumni both celebrating and jeering, once commonplace at Penn State, will turn to silence this fall.

Once the Big Ten officially announced the cancellation of football and the rest of the fall sports seasons due to the coronavirus pandemic, student John Hurlburt said he was disappointed by the news. Without fall Saturdays at Beaver Stadium to look forward to, Hurlburt (junior-landscape architecture) said he will miss sports like football dearly.

“It’s a day where everyone can just kind of forget about school and just relax and have fun,” Hurlburt said.
