Giger: Should Penn State check fans for proof of vaccination at Beaver Stadium?

ALTOONA, Pa. -- There's great excitement for Penn State's season opener tomorrow at Wisconsin. But we're also now just eight days away from 107,000 people cramming into Beaver Stadium for the Nittany Lions' home opener against Ball State.

They'll do so while this country is still in a pandemic. While COVID is still a major health concern, particularly the more dangerous and more transmissible Delta variant. And while many people still refuse to get vaccinated for the coronavirus, putting themselves and others at greater risk.

There will be nothing stopping any infected and contagious person from entering Beaver Stadium next Saturday.
