The lights at massive Beaver Stadium will remain on at night until the school holds a memorial service for the Hall of Fame coach later this week.The bright lights and massive video boards of Beaver Stadium illuminated the Happy Valley sky Sunday night. But the house that former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno built was empty.
Paterno, major college football's all-time wins leader, passed away earlier in the day following a battle with lung cancer. He was 85.
The lights at 106,572-seat Beaver Stadium will remain on at night -- and photos of Paterno will be shown on the facility's video boards -- until the university holds a special memorial service for the former coach later this week (expected to be Thursday at the nearby Bryce Jordan Center), according to a source in the athletic department.
