The geographical center of the state is Aaronsburg, in Centre County. Determined by the intersecting of 2 lines from the furthest points in the NW, SW,NE, SE parts of the state. State College or even Altoona is closer to the center than Mechanicsburg. The Political $$$$ is in Harrisburg.

Why would you want to play a high school football game in front of 100,000 empty seats at Beaver Stadium?

I know Penn State hasn't been the best host in the past for District 6 events.

"Know it all", you must know it all if know about Fannett-MetaL High School. I used to work there a lifetime ago. To have the state football playoffs in the lovely Path Valley is really funny. It would be like having the playoffs in a foreign country since they are not familiar with high school football I guess they could use their soccer fields for the games. You gave me a chuckle with the F-M mention.

My late M.I.L. graduated 'back in the day' from F-M. Her graduating class had maybe 5 people. But hey, F-M is right alongside the Turnpike too. They could use Path Valley Speedway to host. Haul in artificial turf for the infield.

Is the "World of Pigeons" still open near F-M High School? An extra added attraction.

Maybe the "World of Pigeons" was SO busy, that it no longer needed to advertise. Cut down that overhead.
