One of the most exciting experiences VIPP participants can have while they are in America is attending an MSU football game. Celebrating Spartan Pride with other students and cheering our team on towards victory brings scholars together and creates wonderful memories that can last a lifetime. In order to have a good experience attending a football game, and to ensure safe and quick entry into the stadium, it is important that you follow the rules of Spartan Stadium and are aware of what you can and cannot bring to the game.
Spartan Stadium gates open 1.5 hours prior to kickoff. Suites, Huntington Club, and Student entrance open 2 hours prior to kickoff. For the easiest route to your seats, enter the stadium through the gate(s) indicated on your ticket. For security reasons, once you exit the stadium you may not re-enter.
