That&#8217;s how I describe it. It doesn&#8217;t matter what sport it is, people come out. People are intense. There was a lot of suffering for most teams, as obviously a die-hard Eagles fan, I can relate. I can just name losses and just very sad moments for decades until finally the day when 41-33 happened [at Super Bowl LII as the Eagles defeated the New England Patriots].\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I think people are very passionate here.

And college basketball from Big 5 from back in the day. This is a sports town. This is America\u2019s sports town. It\u2019s the birthplace of America. Where else?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Outside of Philadelphia itself, Buskei said the essential Pennsylvania sporting experience comes back at his alma mater.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen Penn State plays, Beaver Stadium becomes Pennsylvania&#8217;s third-most-populated town.
