The atmosphere at The Quad at James Madison University was a electric last week, and this week ESPN's College GameDay will be in a similar location at Penn State.

Penn State announced Monday night that GameDay will air from Old Main Lawn this weekend ahead of the Nittany Lions' matchup with Michigan. The previous five times GameDay had been to Happy Valley, it was set up outside the Bryce Jordan Center with Beaver Stadium as the backdrop.

Fans can start lining up outside the pit at 4 a.m., and they will let into the pit at approximately 6:30 a.m. Overnight camping is not permitted.

ESPN producer Lee Fitting caused a stir on Twitter on Saturday night after he responded to a tweet and said ESPN would love to broadcast GameDay from Old Main Lawn, if it was possible. Whatever hurdles there were have been cleared as the show will be broadcast from the lawn.

Over 1200 readers voted in a Collegian poll earlier this week as to where College GameDay should set up shop. The breakdown as of Monday night: 627 in favor of just outside Beaver Stadium, 535 for Old Main Lawn. Around 50 others voted for another location.

Bags, backpacks and purses are not allowed inside the pit, and those who enter will be screened by security with metal detection wands.

Fans won't be allowed to bring offense, vulgar or inappropriate signs with them inside the pit. Signs or flags mounted on sticks cannot be brought inside the pit, either.

The celebrity guest picker for the show has yet to be announced.
