Michigan State Football's student section is one
of the school's biggest points of pride. Despite this, many fans leave the
football games early and the stadium atmosphere suffers as a result.
One of the biggest concerns is about game time.
Some of the rules of college football have lead too much longer games than that
of NFL or high school football.
“The lengthening of games is impacting the
retention of fans, not just students but all fans, with the game lasting well
beyond three hours, which is contradictory to the history. We’ve got games that
can go three and a half, four, four and a half hours long,” said Paul Schager,
the Associate Athletic Director at Michigan State.
Schager said that athletic directors are concerned
about game length.
On top of this, many students have also
expressed concern over this issue “If the games were shorter, meaning there
weren’t so many time outs or stoppages and media breaks, I think people would
maybe stick around longer,” Said MSU Junior Erik Jacobsen.
