Penn State at Indiana 2010 moved to DC
Looks like I'm getting another Penn State home game in 2010. The Indiana Hoosiers announced today that the Washington Redskins approached the IU athletic department, inviting the Hoosiers to play their 2010 game against the Nittany Lions in FedEx Field.
If you live in, or are familiar with the DC Metro area, it's pretty much Happy Valley-lite. Next to Virginia Tech car magnets, the Lion head is the next most common vehicular decoration.
Of course, as you can see in the photo, late November football in DC is no guaranteed picknick. I took that during the Giants-Redskins game on Nov. 29, 2008. It was cold, very wet, and a long, very long walk from the Metro stop.
But this is great news. Penn State has the biggest dues-paying alumni base in the world, and most of them are probably living in and around DC.
I can just picture Ralph Friedgen punching a wall somewhere.

So essentially, IU is getting paid $3 million to get walloped on the road.
