STATE COLLEGE — The PIAA boys' and girls' basketball championships are moving to Penn State’s home court for at least the next two years.
The annual two-day event, which features four title games each day, will be held at the Bryce Jordan Center on the Penn State campus in 2007 and 2008, with an option for 2009.
The PIAA board voted 17-12 on Thursday to move the finals back to State College for the first time since 1937, when the Class AAA boys final was held there.
The finals have been held in Hershey for most of the last 30 years.
PIAA executive director Brad Cashman said Penn State made a better offer than Giant Center in Hershey.
“The cost of doing business at Giant Center has risen in recent years,� Cashman said.
