Where to Watch the Game if You Don't Have a Ticket: The Veranda, Grumpy's (biggest outdoor TV!), Cowbells
Where to Celebrate: If MSU wins a big game, most fans stay in the Junction tailgating for hours. The Cotton District has a ton of bars that are also popular to celebrate at
Tailgate Spots: The Junction! Everyone from families to fraternities tailgate in The Junction, which is basically all grassy areas surrounding the football stadium. Most students tend to take up most of the field right in front of the stadium, while families stretch out towards the bookstore, the union, and the cheese stop. (If you're every on campus, stop by the cheese shop and try some homemade Muscadine Ripple Ice Cream! Amazing!)
MSU is an amazing place to be a student. I wish I went to undergrad here! State Pride is all over town from the M-State symbol painted on intersections to carving Bully into Halloween pumpkins. I've also never seen anything quite like the loyalty MSU fans have for the teams, no matter how the season is going. It's great to be a Bulldawg!
BIG Thanks to our follower, Ashley, who is a graduate student at MSU!
