if you are not VIP then you can't read the article, but you get the gist of it by reading the posts in the public thread

Seriously doubt this will happen.

The only thing I can think of is the scoreboards won't be ready in time/construction not finished.

How would they accomodate the season ticket holders for the game? Where would they sit?

This game is already part of the season ticket package. So either I would get a refund or they would have to find comparable seats at ford field?

No way this happens. I just may venture over there later on to laugh at some of those chicken littles over there though.

I love Detroit, but moving Boise State football game there was never discussed. It will be played at Spartan Stadium.

there's no way they could have moved this now.. would have had to be months ago, before people put down season ticket deposits, etc..

Amusing, yet a little sad, that the whole thing gained enough steam to warrant a response from Hollis. Ahh well, see everyone in EL on 8/31.

Now that's more like it.

Should be a good time, and a good start to Labor Day Weekend!!

Taking that Friday off and plan on golfing that day in East Lansing, then tailgating, then watching some football!!

EAST LANSING, Mich. -- I'll have much more from Michigan State in the days and weeks to come, but here are a few notes of interest:
•Wide receiver Tony Lippett suffered an ankle injury and "could be out for a while," offensive coordinator Dan Roushar said. Roushar said Lippett had been playing very well and losing him hurts a very inexperienced group.
•The Spartans moved Jeremy Langford from running back to wideout earlier this week to give him a look. "On his first day, he was pretty darn productive," Roushar said. "We were impressed with him."
•Coaches have singled out linebacker Darien Harris, defensive end Joel Heath and center Jack Allen as young players who are emerging. Harris is playing with the first team at linebacker with starter Chris Norman out this spring with an injury. Head coach Mark Dantonio called him "one of the exciting surprises of the spring." Heath is backing up William Gholston and is impressive looking at 6-foot-6, 277 pounds. Allen is a redshirt freshman who's pushing for time at center and at guard.
•Defensive end Shilique Calhoun drew some advance praise to start the spring based on his work with the scout team last year. But defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi said he told Calhoun he's been disappointed with his play this spring and hopes he isn't just a scout-team wonder. Narduzzi hopes that will motivate Calhoun, who's very athletic.
•Lead tailback Le'Veon Bell is up to 242 pounds, Roushar said. Tackling him in the open field won't be fun.
•Dantonio said the petition for DeAnthony Arnett to become immediately eligible has been sent to the NCAA. The Spartans are hopeful they'll get a ruling on the Tennessee transfer by the end of the month. Dantonio said Arnett still needs to be viewed like a freshman since this is his first spring ball.
•Narduzzi said Kurtis Drummond has a solid lead on redshirt freshman RJ Williamson in the battle to replace Trenton Robinson at safety. Narduzzi described Williamson's inexperience as someone "eating baby food right now who's not ready for whole food."
