“We are committed to continuing to enhance our safety and security portfolio at Michigan State University,” said Vice President and Chief Safety Officer Marlon Lynch. “This new addition to Spartan Stadium will continue to make sure the venue remains safe for all to enjoy.”
MSU Police and Public Safety officials say that football fans are encouraged to arrive at Spartan Stadium early to speed up the entry process. When entering the stadium, guests will not have to initially remove items from their pockets unless the metal detector alarms. If the alarm goes off, guests will be checked individually with a security wand.
Currently, walk-through metal detectors are already in place at the Breslin Center. In addition, metal detectors will be added to the Wharton Center, Munn Ice Arena, and the MSU Tennis Center.
Fans can also receive game day updates from the department by texting SPARTANFB23 to 888777.
