University Park, Pa. -- As the Nittany Lions near the end of their comeback season, the Penn State Alumni Association is busy planning the "Official Penn State Bowl Tour" -- the first bowl trip for the Nittany Nation since a Jan. 1, 2003, trip to the Capital One Bowl in Orlando, Fla.
The "Official Penn State Bowl Tour" is being organized by the Penn State Alumni Association and will feature a number of different packages and departure cities depending on which bowl Penn State is selected to attend. Air and land options will be available, as well game-day only packages and a student package, to allow for a variety of package price ranges. Packages and options will include transportation, hotel, a pep rally with the Penn State coaches and players, and other special events. The Penn State Alumni Association is partnering on the bowl tour with Dodds Athletic Tours, a recognized national leader in athletic travel.
To date, more than 1,000 Penn State households have registered their interest in a bowl travel package. Once BCS bowl selections are announced on Dec. 4, each registered fan on the "Official Penn State Bowl Tour" list will be contacted about specific package options. Penn Staters can make their reservations for the "Official Penn State Bowl Tour" at that time.
To register for the "Official Penn State Bowl Tour," Penn State fans should call (866) 373-7370. More information about the "Official Penn State Bowl Tour" is available at http://www.alumni.psu.edu/bowl online.
