Kickoff for our Spartan Football Team and your Downtown Coaches Club is just around the corner!

To our returning members, we are so happy you are back. To those who are new to the club, welcome to the Official Booster Club of MSU Spartan Football! And for everyone else who still needs to register, time is running out (Join Today). We have an exciting schedule of events planned for this fall. Here are some details for our 2025 events:
- They will all be at One North Kitchen & Bar - East Lansing, 1310 Abbot Rd (formerly Reno’s East).
- We will hold dinner events again this year from 5 - 7 p.m.
- They will be on Mondays of home game weeks (except for Tuesday, 9/2, due to Labor Day).

We are excited for this day and time, as we will be able to kick off the week with select players in attendance as they begin to game plan for that week’s opponent. Also, on tap for the dinner program events will be top-notch guest speakers, sports analysts, local student of the week recognitions, contests, and door prizes. We look forward to eating some delicious meals from One North. Please check the website dtncoaches.org for up-to-date info and details.

We remain one of the oldest and most loyal college football booster clubs in the nation, supporting our Spartan Football team through thick and thin. I firmly believe this will be an exciting season for our team. Please join me and the other dedicated Spartan Fans near and far in supporting this team from the start.

If you attend the Meet the Spartans event at Spartan Stadium this evening, we'd love to have you stop by our table to say hi.

We look forward to seeing you all at One North on Monday, August 25th, where our first guest speaker will be Nick Marsh's mother, Yolanda Wilson (aka “MamaTron”), who will speak on what it's like to be a parent of a high-profile student-athlete in today’s college football world.

GO GREEN!!!
