Penn State Lady Lions at Bryce Jordan Center

The Lady Lions play in the Bryce Jordan Center, a 15,261-seat multipurpose arena in University Park, Pennsylvania. The venue opened in 1996 under its current name, which honors former university president Bryce Jordan, who helped secure its construction funds during his tenure between 1983 and 1990. The student section is known as the Legion of Blue and cheers are buoyed by the Pride of the Lions pep band. Since 2007, the Lady Lions have hosted the annual “Pink Zone at Penn State” game in which players and fans wear pink in support of organizations fighting breast cancer.
