"The city is important to our mission not only as an athletic department, but our entire University. We anticipate that the experience will be so much more than a football game for our Spartan faithful," MSU Vice President and Director of Athletics Alan Haller said.

The game at Ford Field will be sold as a standalone contest. Season ticket holders and student season pass holders who have already paid for the 2023 ticket package will be refunded for tickets and parking to the previously scheduled game vs. Penn State at Spartan Stadium, officials said.
