Sod from Tuckahoe Farms can be seen in professional stadiums across the country, including Lambeau Field, Lincoln Financial Field and Heinz Field in the NFL. The soil types at Tuckahoe Farms provided a natural match to the engineered root zone that is utilized in Spartan Stadium. The sod for the new field was grown at Tuckahoe Turfgrass Farms in New Jersey, the number one provider of high quality athletic field turfgrass for the Midwest and northeastern part of the country. The modules were first installed in 2002 when Spartan Stadium returned to natural grass for the first time in 33 years and were renovated following the 2011 U2 concert in which the entire surface had to be replaced. The project, which took place in the spring of 2019, replaced the modular field system with a conventional grass field. One of just four collegiate football fields in the country to win Sports Turf Managers Association (STMA) Field of the Year honors twice (20), Spartan Stadium featured a new playing surface for the 2019 season.
The Spartans hosted their 500th game at Spartan Stadium on Oct. Since its opening in 1923, Michigan State has won nearly 70 percent of its games played in Spartan Stadium. Spartan Stadium is in its 99th season as home to Michigan State football.
