Following the cancellation of Wednesday night’s highly-anticipated matchup against No. 18 West Virginia and the final scheduled Dollar Dog Night that paired with it, Penn State baseball reintroducing a modified version of their most attractive promotion.

For the Nittany Lions’ three-game weekend set against Minnesota, the first 2,000 hot dogs will be sold at a dollar for each game, the program announced Thursday.

The promotional event is designed to invite a larger crowd of fans to support Penn State baseball in their late-season playoff push. While large weekend showings have been few and far between among the fans, it’s something Mike Gambino has been craving.

“This matters so much, it comes up all the time, it’s going to come up in recruiting,” Gambino said about the Dollar Dog Night crowd. “Our next step, next year, is to have Friday night start to feel like this, too.”

Penn State’s Dollar Dog Night crowd will be coming to weekend games sooner than Gambino expected.
