Book Me Two Tickets To Happy Valley Pronto

I really think that the folks at Penn State should use this quote for their tourism efforts.

���The number of comfort stations being provided currently is woefully inadequate from a health and safety standpoint,��� [College Township Manager Adam] Brumbaugh���s letter says. ���The handful of comfort stations in the parking lots are, quite literally, full and overflowing with human waste creating untold potential health and safety problems for PSU football patrons and, ultimately, the general public.���
Man, I want to tailgate in that parking lot!
Brumbaugh said Thursday that the township counted 339 portable toilets around Beaver Stadium within the township on Oct. 2. He said the State College Health Department, which provides services to the township, estimated that 100,000 people over a 10-hour period would require 957 portable toilets.
339 ... 957 ... that's close.

Here's some more fun facts:

7,000.

Average number of gallons of sewage pumped from the portable toilets after a game at Beaver Stadium.

18,000.

Number of gallons pumped after the Sept. 8 Notre Dame game (a stadium record).

Hey, a new record! That should be in the brochure too.
