The Field Burger and Tap has added a new burger creation to its 'coaches corner' menu, this one crafted with the help of Penn State's new head football coach Matt Campbell. The Coach Campbell's Roman Burger is topped with salami, mortadella, white cheddar, arugula, tomato, onion, mayo and Italian dressing, served on a brioche bun.

Why it matters

The Field is known for its unique burger creations, and the addition of a burger designed by the new Penn State football coach is likely to generate excitement and interest among fans and locals alike. This collaboration highlights the restaurant's connection to the university and the local community.

The details

The Coach Campbell's Roman Burger is a stark contrast to the burger created by former Penn State coach James Franklin, which was quickly removed from the menu after he was fired in October. The new burger will sit alongside four other 'coaches corner' burgers on The Field's menu, ranging in price from $18-20.

  • The Coach Campbell's Roman Burger was introduced on the menu on March 5, 2026.
