Jack Breslin Student Event Center

I’ve seen numerous MSU men’s basketball games here, and oh… I graduated here once upon a time.
The Breslin is a great arena… it’s in good condition, and even with bleacher-​like seats near the top of the arena, it’s still kind of comfortable. The Izzone is fun to see in person, and the games themselves are pretty enjoyable — whether it’s you and your buds or even you with your husband/​wife and kids. It’s a great time for everyone.
The Bres and Spartan Stadium are both awesome and keep getting better with improvements. Someday Izzo’s statue will be out there with Magic…

WELCOME TO THE PLEASURE DOME! 2 man enter — Mr. Izzo will stay! Get you GREEN on, got your Sparty on and strap a smile on your face!

BIG!!! But super easy to navigate. Plenty of restrooms. Good views of the floor from anywhere in the house
Parking can be a bear, but it’s a big event venue so that should be no surprise
Well
Maintained and very modern venue, one of the Crown Jewels of East Lansing

Fantastic place to watch a college hoops game. Not a bad seat in the place. Highly recommended.

Super place to watch basketball or attend a concert.
Has the basketball practice facility attached along with men’s and women’s coaches offices.
Plenty of parking nearby.

This is a gray place for graduation ceremonies. It’s indoors, so no worries about the weather. It’s large enough to accommodate lots of family and friends of the students, but not so large that the importance of the event is lost.
I would like to see The Spartans play basketball there someday.

Being an Izzone member for 4+ years have its perks — besides basketball, us students got to enjoy one of the better basketball stadiums around, especially since their new digital scoreboard upgrade. The food is nothing to write home about, but it does offer some local favorite ice cream, MSU-​inspired drinks and food items.
The bathrooms are plenty, but you still need to time it right in order to avoid huge lines. And parking is straight-​forward, albeit frustrating if you don’t park strategically.
Tips:
— They let you bring in sealed water bottles, so you can save some $ there.
— Park by the exit so you can get out much quicker. There are other places to park too (hint: IM circle) if it’s an event on the weekend. Requires a little bit of walking, but definitely worth it.
— Take lots of pictures.

Young children at Mens Basketball Games… The rating is for this one experience not a knock on my Spartans! After handing over our tickets to get in, my wife and I were directed to the ticket center to purchase an additional ticket for my 7 month baby! That’s like telling me my shirt will need a ticket. Just thought you all should know.

Nice!
Went here for a Cooley Law Graduation over the weekend.
The concourse is pretty wide and even when jammed full of friends and families of graduates there’s no claustrophobic feel. Weren’t any big jam ups either.
Seating is good, typical fold-​down chairs. There was plenty of room between rows so you don’t need to be a contortionist. Oh and the seats feel like they’re higher… compared to other places I’ve been.
The big screen is very clear and the speakers were also well tuned for the acoustics in the building, none of that weird echo or feedback loops — bonus!
The common areas are clean and well maintained as are the men’s rooms, concession stands are well spaced and fire exits are obviously marked.
Like most sporting/​concert venues Breslin Center had steep stairs, but at least the railings running down the center of the steps were sturdy.
All in all I think it’s a pretty great place, I’ll probably end up checkin’ out an MSU game sometime in the future.

Unlike the other sports centers at Michigan State, Jack Breslin Student Event Center provides a technologically up-​to-​date environment for basketball games, graduations, and concerts. Every event I have attended has been keenly orchestrated by the staff at Breslin, regardless of the event type.
Breslin has a large number of vendor stands, but is limited in variety; the bathrooms are typically clean and numerous; and the seating is adequately comfortable, albeit mostly plastic benches. However, Breslin does have a shortage of parking next to the facility, so for larger events/​games expect to walk upwards of ¼ a mile. For most basketball games there are shuttles, but I have no clue where they go to/​from.

Basketball time! My favorite time of the year with my favorite team!
My first venture into the Bres. This place is absolutely fantastic. Very spacious for a basketball only arena. My dream would be to referee a high school basketball state championship game here! We went to a non-​conference game here. Not as electric of a vibration as I was hoping but it was non-​conf and not as many students. All seats are pretty decent and have good views. When we were here the school had a reunion and we saw a bunch of past MSU stars including the Magic man himself. This was a nice touch which I hadn’t expected.
Can’t wait to go again!

Good environment to watch a Big Ten Championship won on a William Buford buzzard beater!!! Go Bucks!

Awesome venue and well run.

This is a great place to watch basketball. Although it is large, even the seats at the far top of the stadium have a great view of the floor. The Izzone is awesome and the power and energy of the crowd can be felt during intense games. The scoreboard and upper level video screens around the stadium have been newly remodeled with more modern technology. Try the popcorn or local-​made ice cream cookie sandwich for a game-​time snack.

It’s a great venue. Lots of concessions and bathrooms. Nice staff.
Little known fact: The first event held here was the Fall 89 graduation. Stevie Wonder was the speaker, and even performed.

ENORMOUS!!!
This place is used for Graduations, MSU Games, Carnivals, etc so try to imagine a place so universal that these different events are able to be held there.
I came here to watch Cirque Du Soleil several years back and they used the entire floor. Let’s just say that it was a hike just to use the restroom but it was well worth it as your entertainment for the night was well placed in this gigantic place of a building. Though I have not been in here when there was a Basketball game or any other sort of big event going on through MSU, I heard it can be a blast.
I have also come to Breslin as a volunteer when we would come to clean up as part of a fundraiser opportunity that Breslin offers. The place is ridiculous to clean up, but hey, they offer it to student groups so that they can get paid a decent amount for a decent days worth of work.
This place isn’t as big as the Palace in Detroit, but it’s almost the same set-​up. Get ready to walk!

I’ve seen so many MSU basketball games here that it’s ridiculous! Always fun! There are good seats no matter where you are. I’ve seen one concert here that was okay. Nothing compared to the larger arenas in Michigan, like the Palace.
I can’t really complain since this is my Alma Mater.

Good for MSU Basketball, not the best place for concerts though.
