Penn State Lady Lions at Bryce Jordan Center

The Lady Lions play in the Bryce Jordan Center, a 15,000-seat multipurpose arena in University Park, Pennsylvania. The stadium opened in 1995, bearing the name of the former university president who'd helped secure the funding to build it. The student section is known as the Legion of Blue, and the Pride of the Lions pep band keeps things lively. Each year, the Lady Lions host the “Pink Zone at Penn State” game in which players and fans wear pink in support of organizations fighting breast cancer.
