Like the students will not simply celebrate on another day?
WTF?
The other two will be packed!
I’m not familiar with the PSU “State Patty’s Day” circumstances, but when you think of the damage a large number of drunk students can do, it’s probably cheaper to pay off the bars and disperse the crowds among several venues. Breaks up the mojo.
Think, i.e., of the NCAA championship games, following which, almost invariably, the school’s host town is trashed, cars overturned and burned, real property destroyed. I don’t know if that behavior is involved in the “State Patty’s Day” history, but wouldn’t surprise me if it is.
