The Michigan State Board of Trustees approved a resolution that will provide necessary upgrades and modernize Spartan Stadium in the short and long term.
In 2025, the stadium’s three video boards will be replaced. As a primary revenue generator for corporate sponsorships and being critical to game day operations, replacing the boards is necessary as all three are at the end of their lifespan. The project is expected to begin in early January and be completed in time for the start of the fall 2025 football season.
Additionally, the stadium’s suites on floors 4, 7, and 8 will be renovated to provide modern ADA-compliant restroom facilities and include updates to seating, flooring and concessions. The updates will improve the overall usability of the space while also ensuring the spaces continue to support the university and athletics’ philanthropic efforts.
In the longer term, the university will begin planning efforts that will bring a phased approach to modernizing the stadium, including upgrades and repairs to structural and building systems, enhanced safety and security measures, improved seating, concourses, concessions, restrooms and other improvements leading to changes that will improve the overall fan experience.
