EAST LANSING - Michigan State University Head Football Coach Mark Dantonio said at a Tuesday press conference that he hoped fans would come out for Saturday's game against Rutgers University.

He wanted graduating seniors to have a positive experience at their last home game, he said.

And MSU is offering a deal to students that could help bolster attendance in spite of a rainy forecast and a meek matchup against the Scarlet Knights, who are 1-10 this season.

Student season ticket holders can bring two guests for free to MSU's game on Saturday, according to the university's website. Guests will be allowed through with the ticket holder at Gate B.

Dantonio is hoping fans come out. "I don't ask for much ... but we've had 50,000 fans for a spring game." Wants the seniors to have a positive experience. — Graham Couch (@Graham_Couch) November 20, 2018

Tickets on resale sites like StubHub are going for significantly less than their face value, which ranges from $80 to $150 depending on the location of the seat.
