Still reeling in the benefits of a Big Ten and Rose Bowl Championship, MSU football has now seen its season ticket totals reach a near record high.
According to MSU athletics, 61,931 season ticket packages have been sold for the 2014 season. Season ticket sales for 2014 make up eighty-three percent of Spartan Stadium’s capacity (75,005).
It is the second highest total in program history, trailing only the 63,831 sold for the 2012 season after MSU’s appearance in the inaugural Big Ten Championship. In comparison to the historic 2013 season a year ago, season ticket sales are up 4,211, or seven percent.
This now marks the seventh time that MSU has seen season ticket sales over 60,000, all coming after the 1999 season. In addition, student-season tickets reached its full capacity at 14,000 - the highest total since the 16,000 sold during the 1988 season.
While the totals are a great sign of where the program is heading, MSU has consistently ranked among the nation’s best when it comes to football attendance. MSU has ranked in the NCAA Top 25 for attendance each of the last fifty-eight seasons.
