Penn State’s Unlikely 2010 Road Trip: At Indiana … in Landover, Md.?

FedEx Field will feel like home next November
This just in: The Nittany Lions’ 2010 road game “at” Indiana will be played at FedEx Field, home of the Washington Redskins. The reason? As Chris Korman ’04, sports editor for the Bloomington (In.) Herald Times tells us, it’s all about the money. Korman reports that the Hoosiers stand to make $3 million playing a “home” game about 650 miles from campus, much more than they’d make if they actually played at home. Of course, given D.C.’s proximity to State College and Penn State’s substantial alumni base in and around the nation’s capital, most of the 92,000 fans inside FedEx next November 20 will be clad in blue and white.
