MSU VARSITY 'S' CLUB ROOM

"Our Varsity Alumni 'S' Club Room has been restored after the black mold was discovered in our ceiling and walls during the stadium renovation. We are proud of our Spartan Heritage. Our Club Room should be a tribute to the thousands of athletes who have created this great tradition. Thank you, donors, for your continued support".
