Jace Vachaon, an 11-year-old from Macomb, Michigan, was in attendance with his dad and said playing basketball was his favorite activity.

“I scored 10 points,” Vachaon said.

As fans entered the venue, two projector screens formed a grand entrance and were playing MSU football games on one side and Iowa games on the other.

Members of the Spartan Marching Band could be seen enjoying the 2015 MSU vs. Michigan game.

“This is the second time I’ve been down here to Indianapolis and it is always a lot of fun, especially being able to travel with the band so I am really excited for the game today it is going to be a lot of fun,” fifth-year senior and alto saxophone player for the Spartan Marching Band, Andrew Schneider said.

“I have been through a lot of experiences with the Rose Bowl and the Cotton Bowl in the last few years and to have another year where we get to potentially go to another great game is just unbelieveable and I am beyond blessed for the opportunity that I have had with Michigan State and the Spartan Marching Band.”

2009 alumna Rebecca Mckie said she loved the fest’s setup for the kids.

“It’s really great because even if you are not a fan of one of the teams playing today you can still come,” Mckie said. “I think taking a picture with the trophy is really cool because you never really get that opportunity.”

Fifth-year senior hospitality business major Kelsey Defillipi attended the fest with her two friends from Macomb, Michigan, alumna Taylor moran and self proclaimed “die-hard fan” Caitlin Ficoielli.

“Honesty, I have never been so, I feel like I am so greedy and so blessed with the sports that [MSU has] been having,” Defillipi said, adding that he would love to go to a national championship game.

“We are absolutely going to the semifinals game if we make it," Defillipi said. "We will be there. We are hoping for Miami.”
