EAST LANSING, Mich. – Michigan State University announced a $1 billion capital initiative with a goal of upgrading Spartan Stadium, the Breslin Center, and other facilities.
“FOR SPARTA sets a bold course for the future of Michigan State Athletics,” Michigan State President Kevin M. Guskiewicz, Ph.D, said. “By investing in world-class facilities and experiences for our student-athletes, we are positioning MSU to lead in an increasingly competitive landscape. This initiative reflects our commitment to modernize our athletics program and I look forward to seeing the impact it will have on Spartans today and for generations to come.”

Michigan State is looking to keep up with the evolving world of college sports by upgrading its gameday and training facilities.
There will be new premium seating and facility improvements, as well as shared spaces like a dining hall for athletes.
“This is the most ambitious initiative in Michigan State Athletics history,” Michigan State Athletic Director J Batt said. “While change is happening all around us, our mission of supporting Spartan student-athletes remains resolute. FOR SPARTA is our strategic answer to a rapidly evolving intercollegiate landscape. It will provide the resources and the infrastructure to positively impact the experience and drive competitive excellence for every student-athlete and every sport on our campus.
“Certainly, $1 billion is an aspirational goal. But Spartans have never backed down from a challenge. Throughout history, Michigan State has been a leader in college athletics, and the time has come to lead once again. This is our chance to instill a greater vision for what we believe to be possible. Through a shared singular goal, we will all experience success. Together, we will build the future … For Sparta.”
Michigan State’s “Uncommon Will. Far Better World” campaign is expected to run until 2032, and FOR SPARTA eyes a similar timeline.
MSU Athletics has already reached nearly $250 million toward its $1 billion goal since the planning phase began in 2022, according to a release.
Spartan Stadium got new video boards and other renovations before the 2025 season -- a $28 million project.
