MSU announces $1 billion initiative, including Spartan Stadium renovations

It has been a very exciting few days for Michigan State athletics.

Michigan State announced on Tuesday that they are launching a new $1 billion initiative dubbed FOR SPARTA to elevate facilities, enhance the student-athlete experience and "secure Michigan State's position as a leader in college athletics." The initiative was formerly announced via a social media post and press release from the school on Tuesday.

“FOR SPARTA sets a bold course for the future of Michigan State Athletics,” MSU President Kevin M. Guskiewicz, Ph.D. said in a press release. “By investing in world-class facilities and experiences for our student-athletes, we are positioning MSU to lead in an increasingly competitive landscape. This initiative reflects our commitment to modernize our athletics program and I look forward to seeing the impact it will have on Spartans today and for generations to come.”

The new initiative notably includes enhancements to sporting venues such as Spartan Stadium, Breslin Center and Jenison Fieldhouse. Included in the press release were some renderings of the planned enhancements, which includes a "re-imagined Spartan Stadium, including a new East Tower with a diversity of premium seating options and year-round functionality, will provide football fans the best in-game experience in college football."

This news comes on the heels of Michigan State announcing that Pat Fitzgerald will be taking over as the Spartans new head football coach. He is set to be introduced as the new head coach on Tuesday afternoon.
