Michigan State elected to move the game to Ford Field in Detroit. The Spartans view this as a positive opportunity with several advantages for the program, though the program has acknowledged that it knows and understands how its fans will be affected by the move.

“This is a unique opportunity, for both our football program and our fan base, to play a Black Friday game at Ford Field,” Michigan State athletic director Alan Haller said in a statement shortly after the announcement of the change of date and location.

Our men’s basketball team has experienced tremendous support in Detroit, both at Ford Field and Little Caesars Arena, and we’re excited to bring Spartan Football to our fans in the Motor City. The city is important to our mission not only as an athletic department, but our entire University.

Here’s a look in to what to know as the Nittany Lions and the Spartans face off in a Black Friday special.

Why is Penn State vs. Michigan State in Detroit?

The game was originally supposed to be played on Nov 25 at Spartan Stadium but the Big Ten approached Michigan Stadium about moving the matchup. Michigan State got in touch with Ford Field and the Michigan High School Athletic Association, which ultimately ended up changing its championship games from Friday and Saturday to Saturday and Sunday.

“The Big Ten Conference is thrilled that Michigan State will be hosting Penn State at Ford Field in prime time on NBC,” Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti said in a statement. “We are incredibly grateful for the collaboration between our member institutions, broadcast partners, Ford Field and the Detroit Lions to provide this unique opportunity and incredible exposure for our student-athletes on Black Friday.”

The Spartans, under perhaps an even larger spotlight with this move, are still expected to have a strong homefield advantage over the Nittany Lions.
