That headline sounds exaggerated—550,000 seats would make it the largest stadium in the world by a massive margin. Currently, Beaver Stadium holds around 106,500 fans, making it one of the largest college football stadiums.

 

However, Penn State has been working on an expansion and renovation project. Their plans, announced in 2023, focus on modernizing the stadium rather than drastically increasing capacity. The project includes improved restrooms, wider concourses, better concessions, upgraded seating, and premium hospitality areas. The university aims to enhance the fan experience while preserving the stadium’s historic atmosphere.
