Michigan State football to play Maryland at Ford Field in 2025 regular season finale
FOX 2 – Michigan State football is coming back downtown this fall to play at the home of the Lions.
The Spartans will play at Ford Field on Nov. 29 when it squares off with Maryland in the last week of the 2025 season, the schools announced Wednesday. The time has yet to be determined.
Big picture view:
Ford Field is making it part of its “extended week of football” starting with the Lions on Thanksgiving and the MHSAA prep football championships being played on Friday and Sunday.
Spartan Fund donors and football season ticket holders will get to purchase tickets in Spartan Fund donor priority order. MSU says the game will be sold as a standalone contest, with details, including on-sale dates, to be announced in the near future.
There will be designated sections in the lower bowl for Michigan State students, with priority going to 2025 student season pass holders.
MSU last played at Ford Field in 2023 against Penn State for its home finale.
“Playing at Ford Field is an exciting opportunity for Spartan football,” said Alan Haller, MSU Athletic Director.. “The 2023 game proved that this can be a successful and enjoyable venture. I heard from fans, donors, students, and media, all of whom universally raved about their experience at Ford Field.
“Michigan State University has a strong connection with the city of Detroit, and our teams have repeatedly experienced an outpouring of support in the 313.”
MSU Coach Jonathan Smith spoke about the home field advantage playing in the home of the Lions.
“Playing at Ford Field is an exciting way to close out the regular season,” Smith said. “We will have an opportunity to play in one of the best venues in the NFL in front of our fans, which will create a great atmosphere and a home field advantage for our players.”
Lions President Rod Wood said the franchise is looking forward to hosting the Spartans for another regular season finale – as well as adding to its list of football festivities for Thanksgiving week.
“Thanksgiving and football have been a staple in Detroit for the past 91 years and this year will be a true celebration of the game at every level,” he said. “It is an honor to connect all levels of the game by kicking off the weekend with the Lions and featuring the Big Ten and MHSAA State Championships throughout an amazing four days of football.”

Family fights off attempted carjacking in Oxon Hill
Home security cameras caught a frightening scene in Oxon Hill, Maryland, Thursday when police say an armed teenager tried to carjack a man outside his home.
It would have been the second carjacking to happen in front of Jheyco Borda’s home. But he and other family members decided to fight back.
Borda said he was installing a dashcam in his truck when he noticed a group of people, who appeared to be teens, walk onto his block.
“And I saw six kids come by playing around … And out of my corner of my eye, they stepped in front of my car … in front of the neighbor’s house,” Borda said in an interview with News4’s sister station Telemundo44.
Borda said he quickly called his brother, who was in the house, and then got out and began securing things in the back of his truck.
“I saw them put on a face mask. As soon as I figured that one out, I was like, something’s about to go down,” he said.
One of the teens then went up to Borda and pointed a gun in his face.
“And I told him, ‘The car is on. The keys are inside.’ And he saw my phone and was, like, ‘Give me your phone, too.’ So I gave it to him. When he got distracted looking at my phone, that was the split second when I grabbed the gun out of his hand,” Borda said.
Borda, a former member of the U.S. military, was joined by his brother, who’s about to enlist in the Air Force.
“Then my pops came out, and he got control of one guy,” Borda said.
During the struggle to get control of the gun the teen pulled the trigger, Borda said.
The family eventually subdued two of the teenagers and waited until police arrived.
There’s a large bullet hole in Borda’s truck. He said he’s grateful no one was hurt.
