Great article, Devin! Every reader here should realize that these 118 comments posted since September 6 were a key factor in the Bally’s Corporation decision of 9/13 to break off their Nittany Mall casino framework agreement with Ira Lubert. He never anticipated that the public outroar from his own college town of State College would be strong enough to convince Bally’s to abandon their plans to build a Bally’s casino just three miles down the road from the main campus of Penn State University. Ira Lubert is very disappointed with their decision and he should be. Bally’s listened to us!

I guess it’s not enough that way too many college student are betting on sports (even though most are younger than 21) but now a casino right in their faces. Horrible idea.

My family and I are strongly against any casino coming to State College!

Mr. Lubert: please STOP this casino building plan that will create rather than tear down walls in our community! Please consider the proven detrimental impact on our youth and young impressionable college students.

We absolutely 100% do not want or NEED a casino in State College. It would be devastating to our community. Just one more thing for people to become addicted to. It’s disappointing that PSU hasn’t denounced it. Wonder why??

I don’t think a casino is a wise move for State College. An institution like that isn’t going to bring the kind of jobs we want to this area and we already have enough drinking/partying establishments – another one won’t add anything to State College; it will be another way for rich guys to take money from people in this town and spend it in Monaco or Miami.

We do not want a casino in our State College and Centre County community. The casino will be costly for residents; economic analysis does not support the idea that the casino will generate enough jobs or revenue for the local economy to outweigh the economic costs (increased public safety costs, drunk driving risks, etc.) posed by the casino. Casinos also look sad and empty most of the time when you drive by the existing casinos all around the country. We don’t need that here!

One important reason why the members of the Penn State Board of Trustees have adhered to their unspoken pledge of allegiance to casino opposition silence is that one of the Penn State Board of Trustees current members (Richard Sokolov) is a Nittany Mall casino business partner with Ira Lubert. Oh my! Nobody has mentioned that out loud yet, until just now.

Please do not bring a casino to State College. Our college students are already young and vulnerable, struggling with alcohol abuse, and so much more. Please do not add the temptation that a casino will bring! The prospect of putting money above the well-being of our students and the community is appalling!!

The idea that opening a casino in State College, is a good idea, is preposterous. There is not an “up side” to this decision for a community that carries a university the size of Penn State, on its shoulders. The casino (who always wins) will take the students money and time, while serving them endless amounts of alcohol. What could possibly go wrong? The idea that the casino would bring jobs to the area is one factor to be considered but it’s not the only factor. The limited amount of jobs it would create doesn’t take into consideration the other factors that are difficult to measure. For instance alcohol consumption, gambling addiction, driving while intoxicated, and traffic accidents in general. Has there been any type of community planning? And specialists brought in to discuss and help us anticipate what opening a casino so close to a university might cost us in those type of “other” factors ~ we have an obligation to the students to at the very least find out what we are in for. While going to the casino would of course be their own choice it seems to me that providing the actual casino is ours. Why? Again, what’s the up side for State College?

I am a mother of three young children, we frequently do our shopping in State College right near the mall, at Aldi and Sam’s Club, etc. I am very fearful of the casino being put in there, I have been in areas with casinos and see the bad that seems to surround them. I fear that if this casino goes in that I would be afraid to take my children into state college by myself with that climate. I think other young mothers feel the same out of concern for their children. I ask that this be reconsidered for the good of the families in the area. We do not want the casino in Happy Valley.

I am very against having a casino in state college. Happy Valley is a place for families. Casinos encourage addiction, gambling and changes the dynamics of our town. It feels like
We are catering to money and losing the values of our town . It will increases crime and other issues. I feel you have heard from the citizens but you have not heard us.

A casino will undoubtedly forever change the face of Penn State, State College and the surrounding areas, in addition to the quality, safety and impact on student life. Leave the casinos in Vegas. Me and my family, State College area residents, PSU graduates and former faculty, strongly oppose the building of the casino.

As a very proud alumnus of Penn State, I am really sad about this proposed casino so close to the University and to Mount Nittany, and about the failure of the University trustees to adequately oppose it. Our young people deserve our support to grow up strong and free, not hobbled by debt and addiction.

As long time home owners in Lemont, that is approximately 2 miles from this proposed casino, my wife and I are 100% against it. As a former coach and educator, I am amazed that a high profile Penn State alum would even consider backing such a project in rural Pennsylvania so close to his alma mater.

I think in the article “[Ira Lupert]….has gifted the school $10 million for its football stadium renovation project” misspells the word “grifted”.

Casinos should be legal, but it seems wrong to have one near a college campus, and the nearly always bring misery to the area unless the betters are bussed in and out, and then, the misery is sent away.

I do not want a casino in or near State College.

Adults and leadership have failed in their responsibility to protect the best interests of students, the next generation, and the communities they serve. This is a classic scenario of philanthropy based on self-interest and/or conflict of interest to further the special interests of a few myopic individuals who profit from gambling while taxpayers are left to wipe up the mess of socioeconomic fallout from lives and families destroyed by addiction. Gambling is not “economic development” that leads to positive community outcomes.

Ira Lubert’s gift of $10M for The Lubert Family Welcome Center as part of the Beaver Stadium renovation at Penn State University is a legacy that will be surpassed. In the hearts and minds of countless individuals of the Penn State Community and its outreach, this football legacy will be overridden by Mr. Lubert’s other unwanted legacy to us — the casino at Nittany Mall in College Township. We individuals abide by, and it would be wise for Mr. Lubert, his wealthy, local casino developer friends, and the Penn State University Administration to truly listen to, remember, and heed the words of the Penn State Alma Mater: “For the glory of old State, For her founders strong and great, For the future that we wait, Raise the song, raise the Song. Sing our love and loyalty, Sing our hopes that, bright and free, Rest O Mother dear, with thee, All with thee, all with thee. When we stood at childhood’s gate, Shapeless in the hands of fate, Thou didst mold us, dear old State, dear old State, dear Old State. May no act of our bring shame, to one heart that loves thy name, May our lives help swell thy fame, Dear old State, dear old State. Soon we know a guiding hand Will disperse out little band, Yet we’ll ever loyal stand, State, to thee, State, to thee. Then Rah! Rah! for dear old State, For our love can ne’er abate! Ring the song with joy elate, Loud and long, loud and long.” Words by Prof. F.L. Patee; Music by C.C. Converse (1901) Verse 3 Revised in 1975.

I remain steadfastly OPPOSED to the Casino in State College for reasons as others have stated – reasons MANY TIMES presented to College Township where I live – to Penn State University of which I am a graduate (and where I am about to cease ALL contributions – have given to since graduating in 1966 – for also so many growing reasons) – and to the Bally decision-makers.

Having a casino in State College is a very bad idea. The fact that a wealthy casino owner has contribure $10 million to PSU football is a very bad sign. Are immediate finances a priority above student and community health. Casinos take money from the those least able to afford it. They are a temptation to our students who should be studying and conserving their finances.

The addictive nature of gambling is well documented and putting a casino next to a University can only be regarded as predatory, not to mention other crime frequently associated with casinos. Penn State should be ashamed of not taking a public stand to protect its students, and Bally/Standard General & Lubert should be ashamed of attempting to operate in this market. Penn State’s acceptance of a $10,000,000 donation from the casino developer casts a long shadow over Penn State’s claim to upholding core values of Integrity, Responsibility and Community.

Penn State is not accountable to the local community. We learned that when its leadership worked to get the Bryce Jordan center, alone, exempt from the amusement tax that supports the local schools and community—a tax that would not come out of Penn State’s budget and would add a small amount to each ticket. That was years ago and only one example. Penn State is a front for wealthy businesses to put their representatives or themselves (Ida Lubert) on the board to make decisions to increase their personal and business fortunes. Educating students is a front—though it may not have started that way, and we may still pretent education comes first. It is no different than any oth er business—a great factory feeding business and industry and enriching the same. Supporting the casino is just one more example.

A casino in State College is a BAD IDEA — always has been. It’s astounding that it takes this much effort to get the point across that a CASINO IN STATE COLLEGE IS A BAD IDEA. It’s not good for the community. It’s not good for students.
Penn State is complicit in bringing about this BAD IDEA. The people who live here don’t want a casino and Ira could put his money to better use.

As a community leader heavily involved with youth and college students I am very opposed to having a casino in this area.
I do counseling with hundreds of young people and to add to their woes gambling addictions is the wrong step for them to become responsible adults.
Please reconsider your decision to put a casino in our town.

It seems counterproductive to permit a Casino in State College. Penn State is a respected institution that is committed to the positive development of its students. Why, then, would you allow the dangerous addicting presence of gambling to be built just a few miles from campus?
I have lived here for over forty years and I have witnessed many changes to the community. The proposed Casino is by far the worst.

I am strongly opposed to a casino opening at the Nittany Valley Mall. The last thing our community needs, especially the PSU students is the opportunity to gamble. Adding gambling to the already recognized alcohol and drug abuse of students is a deadly combination. I am also appalled that the PSU Trustees have not adopted any kind of statement against gambling for students. Without such a statement there is a huge conflict of interest with Ira Lubert’s recent $10 million contribution to the Beaver Stadium renovations and his being the developer behind the casino. This does not reflect the values of our community or the welfare of the students who live among us.

A casino is never a long term benefit in any community. The negative social impacts include but are not limited to increased crime and losses to local businesses because dollars spent at the casino take away from local restaurants and other retailers. I do not support the introduction of a casino in the State College area.

So disappointed to see Penn State leadership bending to the influence of money, once again! Although the University states in its mission and vision statement that it focuses on economic development throughout the state, it also prioritizes student health: “Focus on student mental health and financial literacy.” Therefore, the University support for the casino is counter to its own mission. So sad to see how easy a few million can sway the administration.

No good can come of building a casino in Happy Valley. It doesn’t serve our residents in any way and will have numerous repercussions- gambling addiction, crime, stretching resources of our already stretched public service employees. The list could go on. And Penn State leadership adamantly refuses to take a stand because of the HUGE conflict of interest in dealing with Ira Lubert. Mr. Lubert is donating $10 million to help fund Beaver Stadium renovations. It’s way more than that- it’s a guarantee the University will not speak out against his casino, which he stands to make a fortune from. He and the developers are the only ones who will win in this situation- the community loses greatly. Please, the citizens of the community do not deserve to be bullied into submission.

We are not now or will ever be in favor of a casino being built in the State College area. There is absolutely no benefit that will outweigh the negatives from such an endeavor.

We are NOT in favor of a casino in State College and instead of using his funds to help people struggling with mental health challenges in the middle of a mental health crisis in our country and we see that reflected in State Volleg too when the truth is allowed to be seen that people need help… not gambling… not someone who made their money bc of an education at this awesome university bringing something that will hurt people long term and our community in order to make more money? Why isn’t he giving money to organizations in the community to help people and not hurt them.
