Exciting Updates for the Roar Tour 2026
The Penn State Alumni Association is thrilled to report that registrations for the upcoming Roar Tour are coming in fast! This premier series of football events, primarily held at away games, is a fantastic opportunity for alumni to connect, celebrate, and showcase their Penn State pride, all while enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of game day.
Special Guest: LaVar Arrington
This year, the tour is especially electrifying with the addition of Penn State football legend LaVar Arrington, a two-time All-American linebacker. Arrington will not only bring his trademark energy and insights but also engage with fellow alumni, helping fans gear up for kickoff. An exclusive benefit of this partnership allows Alumni Association members to enjoy a discount at Arrington’s home-game tailgate, Stix City. Learn more on the Alumni Association website.

Key Event: Pregame at Hintz
Headlining the remaining schedule is the Pregame at Hintz event, strategically planned for White Out Weekend. This event promises to sell out quickly, so early registration is encouraged.
Join Arrington and fellow Penn Staters for a celebration featuring offerings from the Central PA Tasting Trail, local food favorites, appearances by the Penn State cheerleaders and the iconic Nittany Lion, along with a VIP lanyard and commemorative pin.
