Fans will soon be able to pair some crab fries with their Penn State basketball.
Chickie’s & Pete’s will soon arrive at the Bryce Jordan Center, according to a few new signs posted around the arena Wednesday night.
Kate Bean, the BJC’s director of marketing, said the arena will share more details about Chickie’s & Pete’s, plus an opening date, soon.
Philadelphia-based Chickie’s & Pete’s, once voted the No. 1 sports bar in North America, is known for its Old Bay-seasoned fries and sandwiches, lobster rolls and chicken cutlets, seafood, and more.
For now, though, it’s unclear just how much of the restaurant’s menu will be available at the BJC. Chickie’s & Pete’s operates concession stands featuring its signature Crabfries at sports arenas and stadiums around the country.
