Michigan State will wrap up its regular season against Penn State at Detroit's Ford Field, a game moved to Friday, Nov. 24, and to the Big Ten's new primetime package with NBC.
The Spartans will play at Ford Field for the first time since 2010, giving them six true home games this fall. The 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff on Nov. 24 is part of the Big Ten's new primetime package with NBC, one of the league's two new media partners for a seven-year agreement that begins this season.
Athletic director Alan Haller said in a statement that the game is a "unique opportunity" to play football in a city and a region that is home to nearly half of Michigan State's student body and 100,000 alumni.
