Large-scale renovations started last weekend, as construction crews felled the long-standing press box on Saturday.

The press box project begins what Penn State is calling a "large-scale demolition" of Beaver Stadium's upper West side. Crews will be on-site 24/7 for the next six weeks to prepare the site for construction that will take place ahead of the 2025 season. Penn State plans for some temporary seating for the 2025 season but has not announced details.

The Beaver Stadium press box, which was original to New Beaver Field, was disassembled and moved from New Beaver Field to Beaver Stadium following the 1959 season, along with the grandstands. The press box was expanded to its current configuration in 1980 with additions on either side of the original press box to nearly double its size.

Bleachers and areas of the west side of Beaver Stadium are demolished on Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2025.

Penn State is wasting no time after the Nittany Lions' home schedule concluded to begin the $700 million project's next phase.

Penn State Athletics on Tuesday shared a simulation of the construction fans can expect to see at Beaver Stadium for the 2025 season. The simulation video shared on Youtube shows the felling of the Beaver Stadium press box that happened over the weekend.
