On a weekend that brought frigid temperatures, pouring rains and power outages across Grand River Avenue, game day-related crimes were less prevalent as they've been in recent weeks, records show.

Here's what happened Saturday when the MSU football team hosted the Penn State Nittany Lions, according to MSU Police Cpt. Doug Monette:

  • One ordinance violation for an individual on the field at Spartan Stadium.
  • One minor in possession (MIP) arrest.
