Penn State is again offering money to State College taverns which close or refuse to sell alcohol for State Patty's Day, but this year taverns will be paid between $2,500 and $7,500 -- depending on their occupancy -- instead of a flat $5,000 each.

The Centre Daily Times reports businesses with occupancy for up to 100 customers would receive $2,500; those with up to 200 customers will receive $5,000; those with up to 349 customers will receive $6,000; and those with room for 350 or more will receive $7,500.
