Traditions - Tennis Court Tailgates The tennis courts are the place to be at 10 a.m. Saturday mornings of home football games. The tents
are set, the fight song is playing, and beer cans are popping. Just after 9 p.m. the night before a football game, MSU
football fans are beginning to line up along Chestnut and down Trowbridge to claim a part of tailgating turf.

who enthusiastically represent the university and lead Spartan fans in support of our many nationally ranked.
Sparty the Spartan is Michigan State University’s fearless and loveable mascot.
You can find Sparty at almost any event taking place on campus and he appears in quite a few places beyond
the friendly confines of East Lansing. He does weddings, parties, bar mitzvah’s, parades, alumni functions,
charity events, public showings, commercials and all major sporting events. Sparty can help make just about
any event a fun and exciting time.
