EAST LANSING, MI – For just $10, you can own a piece of Spartan Stadium.

The Michigan State University Surplus Store will be selling up to 2,500 pieces of Spartan Stadium turfgrass after the spring football game on April 13.

Michigan State is replacing the turfgrass ahead of the 2019 season.

Deposits on up to six sections of turf per customer can be made on the store’s website, however the exact number of turf sections and their available pickup dates are not currently known.

It is anticipated that sections will begin to become available for pick-up on, or shortly after April 15, according to the store.

The premium grade, athletic field hybrid, Kentucky bluegrass will be sold in 9-square-foot sections. The number of sections is subject to Michigan weather, equipment malfunctions, and other factors.

Sections of turf will be dispersed to customers based on the date and time of their full-cost deposit

If there are not enough sections, customers who placed deposits on unfilled orders will have their orders canceled and no charges will appear on their credit cards.

Spartan Stadium, which has been the home of the Michigan State football team since 1923, featured a natural grass playing surface until artificial turf was installed in 1969.

Natural grass returned to Spartan Stadium in 2002 after a 33-year absence, with the installation of a modular field.

The playing surface, planted in May of 2001 at MSU’s Hancock Turfgrass Research Center, was comprised of a blend of nine varieties of Kentucky bluegrass.

In 2005, the natural grass playing surface in Spartan Stadium earned Field of the Year honors from the Sports Turf Managers Association.

It won the honor again in 2016, becoming just the fourth collegiate football field to earn the distinction of STMA Field of the Year twice since the award was created in 1992.

Michigan State opens the 2019 season when it hosts Tulsa at Spartan Stadium on Aug. 30.
