Michigan State football is moving its 2025 season finale to Ford Field in Detroit, the program announced on Wednesday. The contest is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 29, and kickoff time for the game will be announced at a later date.
This marks the second time in three seasons that MSU will move its season finale from Spartan Stadium in East Lansing to Ford Field in Detroit, as the Spartans also did so in 2023 against Penn State (a 42-0 loss).
The game between the Spartans and Terrapins is part of an extended weekend of football at Ford Field, which also includes the Detroit Lions' Thanksgiving Day game on Thursday and the MHSAA (Michigan High School Athletic Association) State Championship games on Friday and Sunday.
“Playing at Ford Field is an exciting opportunity for Spartan football,” MSU Vice President and Director of Athletics Alan Haller said in a statement. “The 2023 game proved that this can be a successful and enjoyable venture. I heard from fans, donors, students and media, all of whom universally raved about their experience at Ford Field. We witnessed what the Detroit Lions experience every game, that Ford Field can be a tremendous home field advantage. Our student-athletes dream of playing in the NFL and to have the opportunity to play in that stadium is a thrill for them as well.
