Michigan State Announces 2019 Football Game Day Initiatives
Michigan State opens the 2019 football season on Friday, Aug. 30 against the University of Tulsa at 7 p.m. in Spartan Stadium. Fans attending the game will notice several new initiatives and improvements designed to enhance the game day experience in and around Spartan Stadium.
"Enhancing the fan experience continues to be a priority for Spartan Athletics," said MSU Athletic Director Bill Beekman. "In the offseason, we developed several new initiatives, covering areas such as tailgating, concessions, team introductions, and in-game entertainment, all with the intent to provide a better game day experience for our fans and visitors to Spartan Stadium. Football game days at Michigan State are a great tradition, one with the power to create memories for years to come. Our job is to make sure that from the moment people come on campus and throughout the game, we are doing everything we can to make those memories as special as they possibly can be."
Banner graphics honoring each of MSU's 86 first-team All-Americans will be displayed throughout the concourse, along with a "Gruff Sparty" selfie station inside the student entrance and a mural in the north concourse highlighting some of the top plays in Spartan Stadium history. Spartan fans will also notice new field level LED boards placed on both the north and south end zone walls.
Fans of all ages have the opportunity to participate in various activities prior to each home game at the Meijer Fan Fest in Munn Field and in front of IM West. In addition, the WJR Tailgate show, hosted by Steve Courtney, broadcasts live from fan fest in Munn Field three hours prior to kickoff. Live music will also be played at the Meijer Fan Fest at Munn Field.
Hungry and thirsty Spartan fans lining up to purchase concessions will be able to keep track of the action while waiting in line on one of 55 TV monitors that have been installed on the concourse. MSU has not increased concession prices for two consecutive seasons. A new concession item, sure to be a new fan favorite in 2019, is Ben's Soft Pretzels. These Amish-inspired gourmet soft pretzels will be available outside of Section 8.
Spartan fans looking for great deals on officially licensed MSU gear will have the opportunity to shop at the new Sparty's Locker Room locations operated by Dyehard Fan Supply. Also new in 2019, The Tailgate Guys will appeal to fans who are looking for an upscale, reserved, turnkey solution for game day tailgates. For more information, please visit: https://tailgateguys.com/michigan-state
Season and individual game tickets are available now from the Spartan Ticket Office at msuspartans.com or by phone at 517-355-1610 or 1-800-GOSTATE. In addition, mini-plan ticket packages, featuring Tulsa plus two games, are also available for the attractive price of only $99.
For Michigan State students only, there will be a special student ticket sales event at the Spartan Ticket Office located in 1855 Place on Aug. 27 from 1-5 p.m. Members of the Spartan football team and other sports, including the Final Four men's basketball team, will be in attendance to interact with students who are purchasing tickets. Another new feature for MSU students at football games will be the ability to use Combo-X-Change as part of their respective meal plan.
As part of expanded recycling efforts, concession cups will feature new sip lids, replacing plastic straws. There will also be additional recycling bins placed throughout the stadium. For safety, Spartan fans are encouraged to leave glass items at home and remove all spent propane tanks from campus after tailgating.
Michigan State enters the 2019 season ranked No. 18 in the preseason Associated Press Poll and No. 20 in the Amway Coaches Poll.

Paying for a catered tailgate is so white trash.

OK... My fam is setting up a tailgate on campus by the parking structure off of Grand River for Sat. They say tailgating starts at 3:30... But the structure must be open all day. What's the deal? Should their be spots? etc. That must be public, right?
I'm a simple and confused man.
TIA.

I just walk around Grand River, have a few beers.. then meander to a few different tailgates from there.
I'm a big picture guy.

How are the pretzels? You know what would help sell more pretzels in the stadium? When you can enjoy one with a beer.

Is the turkey man still there? I have this vague recollection that maybe he got kicked out. I never actually had one of those legs.

Re: New and Improved tailgate
So apparently MSU officials are going around and telling tailgaters that after this week no more parking on the grass anywhere on campus.

They must just want people to show up to go into the stadium and then leave when it is over. RIP tailgating

Seriously, my compadres and I spend a bit of money for our spot. Fuck it, I’m done. I’m done. Seriously hate MSU for this. My best friend from high school had a daughter go to South Carolina he’d go to an sec game in a town each year. Told me it’s insane crazy. Cant match them. At ol miss they let alumni in Thursday night.

I payed 30 to park on grass there. That is like printing money 8 times a year

Re: New and Improved tailgate
Had a good time on campus yesterday.
Walked down, met the kid.. hooked up with friends on north campus. Had 4-5 Coors (Banquet beer.. it was an upscale affair).. shot of Fireball. Threw some football.
The kid and I made eye contact at one point and silently agreed to put an end to the corporate country music that someone was playing.
Walked over to watch the band come in.. walked home, ordered pizza (medium cheese).. watched the MSU offense score some points.
Pretty good day.

That was a fun game to watch. I love it when both sides of the ball are working. I hope we kick some Sun Devil ass next week.

Can confirm. William Brice stadium @ South Carolina is somewhat off campus. You really can't walk to it. They're super laid back on the tailgating. I'm wondering if the stadium being off campus promotes people coming who aren't going to become stammering drunks. I'd be driving into work on Wednesdays and start seeing Motor coaches and RV's rolling in from Georgia, FLA, etc. I'd guess with a stadium being on campus they're paranoid of Students getting bombed and irresponsible?

Listen Kingston, first and foremost this is a learning institution that WILL NOT be beholden to sports programs to the detriment of our students.
GOOD DAY SIR!

Been to a bunch of SEC towns and games (Tennessee, Auburn, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina.. Clemson - an honorary SEC school).. they're fine, but I don't think that's who we should aspire to be.
These people literally have nothing else in their lives.

What lots does this actually effect? Isn't everything except the public lot south of Munn all parking lots/cement?
