The worst-kept secret about Penn State?s 2014 schedule is finally official.
The Nittany Lions will open the season against Central Florida in Dublin?s Croke Park.
The stadium will seat 69,000 fans for the Aug. 30 game that kicks off at 1:30 p.m. local time. That will be great for fans who like their breakfast with a side of college football.
The Croke Park Classic will be the eighth American college football game played in Ireland, and the Big Ten Conference?s first international game since Michigan State and Wisconsin met in Tokyo in 1993.
It didn?t take long for news of the game to hit Twitter. Former player and current member of the board of trustees Adam Taliaferro ordered a round of ?shamrock shakes for PSU.?
Mike Wierzbicki is looking forward to Penn State coach Bill O?Brien vs. Central Florida coach George O?Leary.
The Penn State Alumni Association is already offering four- and eight-day travel packages that include tickets to the game and sightseeing options. Some packages even include a Penn State party at the Guinness-Storehouse.
These packages range in price from $1,519 to $2,299, but do not include airfare or transportation to or from the airport.
It?s too soon to determine how much the airfare will set fans back because reservations can only be booked 330 days in advance. The closest you can get is June 2014 prices, which would be slightly under $1,000 roundtrip.
