For those driving to State College, we are expecting 5-9 inches of snow in Central Indiana on Wednesday and more snow on Thursday. Be careful for those driving via 70.

Do yourself a favor, if you're downtown to eat or shop, leave A LOT of extra time to park or walk back to the BJC. It's an uphill walk from downtown, 40 years ago it didn't seem to bother me but now...

This is very useful information! If coming in during the afternoon, what would be a good way to grab a bite and then park for the meet? Specific lots, restaurants, etc. would be great. Thanks

You have to use the parkmobile app to park at the BJC. Prepaid only for this match. I don't mind the walk to and from. I park downtown and walk up and back. That way there is no driving while enjoying adult beverages. It's a solid 25 minute walk each way.
You can uber to within a 5 minute walk pretty easily if you want. I'd leave downtown an hour before to make sure you are there and inside. The southwest entrance usually has a much shorter queue to get in. Most of the parking is on the opposite side.

Thanks for this. Any suggestions where to park downtown? I like the walking idea as long as it's not zero degrees out.

Long-time lurker, but first-time poster. There is a parking garage on Pugh Street that will put you in the heart of downtown. Some very good restaurants on Allen Street (one block west) like Pickles Pub, Corner Room, and Downtown Champs. First two usually have lots of wrestling fans prior to match. As a previous poster mentioned, give yourself 20-25 minutes to walk up to BJC and another 20 to get thru the lines and to your seats. Enjoy Happy Valley!

Should be around 27 degrees, nothing to cold. If you carry more then your keys and wallet, they check it going in. Clear bag policy. They made me throw away a mimi leatherman last week because it has a knife. 1" long 😣

There are two loop buses in State College/University Park. The Blue Loop runs up College Avenue and the White Loop runs down Beaver Avenue. Both are free to ride and have stops right at the Bryce Jordan Center. You'll find a Blue Loop stop at College Ave and Allen St plus several other stops down College Ave. The match starts at 8:30 so I'd be at the bus stop no later then 7:30, else it's a long walk. If the bus stop wait is going to be long try the White Loop on Beaver.

There are also several parking garages on campus that are somewhat close to the BJC. The East Parking Garage is about a 1/4 mile walk and the Eisenhower Garage is a bit further. Of course the the BJC has lots of parking.

The BJC doors should be open at 7pm.

Info on the Blue Loop and White Loop can be found here:

You can also download an app or find real time bus data here:

Keep in mind that the Loops are not magic monorails and are subject to traffic like any other vehicle.

Lastly, the Loops and Links are paid for by Penn State, so if you use them, be sure to thank a student for paying their high tuition and fees to provide your free ride.

You can also park on the street if you see a spot and can reload the time on the meter every 3 hours with the parkmobile app.
