Spartan football

Join the MSU Alumni Association for the first three Michigan State away games during the 2010 football season. Support the MSU Spartans and head coach Mark Dantonio at these all-important road games. The MSU Cheerleaders, Sparty, and other guest speakers will be there to add to the fun. Win MSU prizes, talk football, enjoy great food, and cheer the Spartans on to victory. There will be special door prize drawings for MSUAA life and annual members. Legacy members should also bring their card to receive a gift.

Pre-registration is required for the away game tailgates.

Tailgates include a buffet meal, a chance to win Spartan door prizes and special tailgate memento. Tailgates begin three hours prior to kick-off and continue for two hours. When pre-registering online you must supply a membership number to receive the MSUAA discount. If the event is not sold out, a limited number of tailgate admissions will be available at the door. (Please check back to this web site for availability.) You must show your membership card at the door to receive the member discount. Once purchased, tailgate charges are non-refundable.
