Michigan State opens every game-day lot at 7 a.m. for kickoffs before 6 p.m. and at 11 a.m. for 6 p.m. or later, and Friday games get their own later schedule. For fans 21 and over, the campus open-container ban is suspended in the lots while they're open, tents top out at 10 x 10 feet, and kegs, couches and trailers stay home. Get there early, just not before the gates: MSU won't let traffic line up.
