[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by ajmiller [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by radivil [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by ajmiller It's a medium sized town (borough actually) thoroughly dominated by Penn State University. [/quote] Actually its the third largest city in the state, having recently passed up Erie (103,000). It has a population of 139,000. I'm not certain if this counts the student population, which could mean its either 97,000 or 181,000. Of course, if its without the student population, its still only #4 on the list and Beaver Stadium still holds more people that any place in PA other than Pittsburgh and Philadelphia (106,537 seats. the most recent game was 108,000+). Oh yeah, buses still stop at the Corner Room, even if they're only just the local in town mass transit. I walk past there 4-8 times a day. [/quote] Only on football weekends is State College the third largest city in PA. My 2002 Rand-McNally road atlas lists the population of State College as 38,420 (I suppose this doesn't include surrounding townships and may or may not include some students whose official residences are elsewhere). State College is far smaller than Allentown, Bethelehem, Scranton, Reading and Erie. It's also smaller than Lancaster, Harrisburg, Wilkes-Barre and maybe a few other places. State College is growing though. [/quote] I think what it might be is some of the things I saw the population listing for might have been listing the entire population of Centre County (for some reason).
