EAST LANSING, MI — Michigan State University’s Board of Trustees on Friday will consider proposal to build a new sports arena along with a hotel and retail space on about 14 acres at the northeast corner of Trowbridge Road and Harrison Road. The project, dubbed the Spartan Gateway Project, would partner the school with a private developer to complete the project, according to a report in the Lansing State Journal.
Plans call for a 6,000 seat sports arena to house MSU gymnastics, wrestling and volleyball. It could also host the occasional concert. The arena, if approved, would be operational by late 2027. The remainder of the Gateway project would be built in stages, according to the report.
The new sports arena would cost the university about $150 million. The rest of the Spartan Gateway District will be paid for through a public private partnership with developer financing.
