KINGSTON -- Workers at Travelworld told Newswatch 16 that nearly 200 tickets for their Pinstripe Bowl Package sold out within 90 minutes on Monday.

Debbie Freas told Newswatch 16 that three charter buses have already been booked for their $189 package, which includes tickets, transportation, tailgates, and souvenirs.

“We’re totally sold out. We are trying to get more game tickets because we have a wait list going out there,” said Freas. “Penn State people will travel just about anywhere to see their team.”

The Nittany Lions will face Boston College at the Pinstripe Bowl after Christmas.

The bowl game will be played on a field inside Yankee Stadium in New York.

Students at Penn State Wilkes-Barre told Newswatch 16 that they’re excited about the bowl game, following two years of sanctions handed down after the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal.

“It’s been a couple years since they’ve been to a bowl game. Definitely deserving for the kids, especially the seniors, everything they’ve been through,” said Larry Youngblood. “I got to give Franklin a lot of credit. He did a lot of good things; the odds weren’t in his favor.”

Kickoff at the Pinstripe Bowl is set for 4:30 p.m. on December 27.
