What to know for the Penn State football Blue-White Game: Where to go, when it starts

The Blue-White Game will have a different look and feel on Saturday. Penn State officials are calling it “non-traditional.”

For starters, the annual scrimmage, which concludes Penn State football spring practice, will be held in an active construction site, thanks to the ongoing $700 million Beaver Stadium renovation project.

It will be shorter than usual (no halftime) and expects to be a mix of game-action and drill work, according to head coach James Franklin.

The “game,” which starts at 2 p.m., will not be televised.

At least Penn State officials are bringing back the player autograph session and admission is still free, even if you can only enter through certain stadium gates.

Still, there should be plenty to watch and talk about, especially for a team that hopes to turn its College Football Playoff success into a national championship run this fall.

Here’s what to know about the Blue-White Game:
