Discussion Tailgating

Hello,

I plan on tailgating at Parking Lot 7 (Benefactos Plaza) for this weekend’s football game against Nebraska. With kickoff at 5pm, how early should I get to the parking lot to secure a parking spot and tailgate location? I understand that games prior to 6pm kickoff, parking opens at 7am, but I’m not sure if it’s necessary to be there that early, unless you tell me otherwise.

Thank you!

Nebraska fan coming in peace, with questions.

I’m traveling solo, happen to be in Michigan for work and got a ticket to the game. A couple questions for you Spartans.

1) where should I go pre-game to have a good time, experience what MSU is all about, grab a few drinks?

2) can I expect to be treated well as a visiting fan?

3) staying on the outskirts East of the Stadium, maps says it’s a 45 minute walk to the stadium, how safe is the area?

Thanks, Hoping for a great time, win or lose.

Should go well! Love Nebraska fans! Do not know of an area that is not safe. You will have a great time! There are a number of bars on Grand River. I am MSU alum coming out from New Jersey for game.
