Suddenly waking up Saturday morning has become a lot more desirable for students.

Penn State announced Tuesday night that student tickets for the Pinstripe Bowl will go on sale at 9 a.m. this Saturday at the Bryce Jordan Center.

The tickets cost $55 each and can be purchased using cash or a credit card at the Bryce Jordan Ticket office. Each student can purchase a maximum of two tickets with a valid Penn State student ID card. The tickets are in sections 202 and 203 that's located in right-center field bleacher seats of Yankee Stadium, overlooking the one end zone and behind the Yankees bullpen.

The sale will run first-come, first-served until tickets sell out or until noon on Saturday, in which case the remaining tickets will be sold at the Athletic Ticket Office during Finals Week (Dec. 15-19).

But Penn State shouldn't have any problem selling its allotted student tickets. The athletic department has already sold out its ticket allotment, before the tickets were offered to the public, through priority members' sales to the Nittany Lion Club and Alumni Association members.

This will be Penn State fans first chance to see the Nittany Lions play in a bowl game since the 2011-12 season when they lost to Houston in the TicketCity Bowl.

Fans, players and coaches have already shared their excitement, including Baltimore Raven John Urschel saying he's jealous of the current team getting a chance to play in Yankee Stadium.

While the Pinstripe Bowl isn't until Dec. 27, James Franklin announced at the Pinstripe press conference on Tuesday that his team and Boston College will both arrive in New York City on Dec. 22. Their activities will include seeing the Radio City Christmas show on Christmas Eve, visiting the 9/11 memorial and having the coaches and team captains ring the opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange.

Penn State (6-6) opened up as a 3.5-point underdog to Boston College (7-5).
