About Penn State Basketball
The only thing the Bryce Jordan Center doesn't have is one of those patented Chris Berman nicknames.
It has everything else.
It has atmosphere, ambiance, eloquence and, in something less than a full season, it has become a nuisance stop for basketball teams playing Penn State's Nittany Lions.
The place cries for a clever moniker like those the ESPN sports anchor regularly attaches to sports personalities and sports facilities.
After 68 years in Rec Hall, the Grande Dame of Penn State athletic facilities, the 370,000- square-foot debutante had its "coming out" party on January 11, 1996.
There was concern about the new dance partner. Rec Hall, after all, had proven to be a comfortable comrade.
Opening night quickly dispelled any misgivings. It was a Broadway bow on Curtin Road...the official launch of the "My Fair Lady" of athletic arenas.
"In a perfect meeting of time and place," one reviewer wrote, "14,852 folks came out of the cold last night to see an unbeaten Penn State open a fabulous new arena, the Bryce Jordan Center. They waited respectfully to be let in at 6 p.m. When the fans got inside, they saw an arena with wonderful sight lines from the highest seat to the distant corners.
"The dizzying walk to the top of the stands seemed like a walk to the top of the world. The view was worth it."
"The fans were treated to an extra-wide concourse, and some hung out in 16 mezzanine suites with televisions, refrigerators and a great view of the action...The Jordan Center is state-of-the-art..."
"You have seen many basketball games in your lifetime," another correspondent said, "but never in a place like this. Part of you wonders if you are really on the Starship Enterprise, what with all of the gates, portals and sections."
About the Stadium
The building incorporates ultramodern acoustics, electronic, communications and overall design. Highlight features include: a high-tech sound system, one of the largest portable basketball floors in the world, a video monitor within the scoreboard capable of producing near television quality, and full back and arm rests for each one of 15,261 seats. The seating capacity is more than double Rec Hall.
The quantities of materials used in the construction are staggering: 3,100 tons of structural steel, 30,000 cubic yards of concrete and 5,600 tons of precast concrete (seating). The Center displaced 153,500 cubic yards of earth. The highest point from floor to roof is 126 feet.
In addition to center court, the building includes locker rooms for the Nittany Lions and Lady Lions; eight visiting locker rooms; a press room; a Founder's room and other function rooms. There also is a 18,800-square-foot auxiliary gym just steps away from the main floor.
Penn State's athletic offices are housed in the Jordan Center, having moved there from Rec Hall. All of the Nittany Lion and Lady Lion coaches, with the exception of football and swimming, call the building home.
In addition to its athletic and entertainment uses, the Jordan Center will be the site of Penn State's annual commencements, trade shows, academic convocations and a wide variety of other events.
