Michigan State football will host a "Meet the Spartans" event on August 21, as announced by head coach Jonathan Smith. The event details will be revealed later in the summer. This decision follows the team's choice to forgo a spring game this season, a departure from the usual tradition that some fans found disappointing. The Spartans are currently concluding their spring practices, gearing up for the upcoming 2025 season opener against Western Michigan on August 30, potentially moving to a Friday night kickoff.
