Those Thanksgiving weekend games are empty, even when MSU is decent. I don't particularly like it, but I'm also not a season ticket holder. I imagine it will be even less full in Detroit, but I guess MSU is getting paid for it?
PSU with a good MSU team is about the only time its well attended. Once they moved to or rotation with Maryland and Rutgers as well, and they pushed the end of the Big Ten season back a week, it's a ghost town. I guess I feel bad for those three people, but MSU as a fan base can't really be pissed because they weren't showing up for that game anyway
