Home of the Michigan State Spartans football program. The Skandalaris Football Center and Duffy Daugherty Building anchor the south-campus athletics core beside Spartan Stadium, the Breslin Center, and the Red Cedar River. Everything in this guide is measured in honest drive minutes from that facility.
