In a matter of seconds the iconic Beaver Stadium press box was reduced to a pile of rubble on the morning of Jan. 4. The press box was original to New Beaver Field, was disassembled and moved from New Beaver Field, near Recreation Hall, to Beaver Stadiums current location following the 1959 season, along with the grandstands. The press box was expanded to its current configuration in 1980 Credit: Patrick Mansell / Penn State. Creative Commons
