nytimes.com [$]

Penn State announced the opening of the Paterno Family Football Experience Room, an interactive exhibit inside Beaver Stadium honoring late coach Joe Paterno, whose tenure ended amid the Jerry Sandusky scandal. The room, located in the Penn State All-Sports Museum, preserves football history and tradition. Athletic director Pat Kraft said it connects the program's proud past with its future, following the removal of Paterno's statue in 2012. Paterno won 409 games and two national championships before being fired in 2011. The exhibit signals reconciliation after the family settled legal disputes with the university in 2021.
