Trial started this morning.

The jury's composition reflects the area's strong connection to Penn State, which dominates life and culture in the nearby city of State College. It includes a Penn State senior, a retired professor and a woman who's been a football season ticket holder since the 1970s. The woman's husband also works for the medical group where the father of a key witness, Mike McQueary, previously worked.
Is this normal? I understand the Penn State Football influence is vast, but seems it would make it difficult for a "fair" trial.
