Other crimes from football game days include scenarios in which an individual failed to obey a police officer, public urination violations, illegal t-shirt sales, and an instance in which a person used an unauthorized source of amplified sound. 

MSUPD announced in October it would also be stepping up security measures at indoor facilities for MSU basketball and hockey games, along with other special events. If an individual sees any suspicious activity on campus, they’re encouraged to reach out to MSUPD.
