EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) -Police are urging Michigan State fans to show restraint when they celebrate the Spartans’ Final Four appearance Saturday night.
East Lansing police say they will have reinforcements ready in case revelers in downtown or on campus turn rowdy after Michigan State faces Connecticut in the national semifinal. Police say they aren’t expecting trouble but will be prepared.
The game will be at Detroit’s Ford Field, about a 90-mile drive from campus.
East Lansing had disturbances after Michigan State’s Final Four appearances in 1999 and to a lesser extent in 2005. But large celebrations after Final Four appearances in 2000 and 2001 were mostly peaceful.
