My friends and I are coming to State College for the USC vs. PSU game. We have 3 passes for Lot 34 and plan to tailgate throughout the game rather than go into the stadium.

Since we’ll be tailgating for the entire game (we’ll have a TV + Starlink, etc.), we’d rather not start too early. My husband suggested getting to the lot around 3pm, but I’m worried that by then the lots will be packed and it’ll be difficult to drive in, find our spots, and get everything set up.

For a 7:30pm kickoff, what time do people typically arrive and start setting up their tailgates? Is 3pm cutting it too close, or should we be okay getting there around then?

Any advice from experienced PSU tailgaters would be greatly appreciated!
