With Dantonio as coach, I think there will be more to add to the gallery in terms of championships.

Is that a picture of the '99 UM game in Dantonio's office?

Wow...that is pretty amazing. Coach Dantonio has a gorgeous office. I want to see pics of the new expanded weight room though.

In a word - outstanding. This is the shot in the arm that the program needed. Anyone think it's a coincidence that the 2009 class is as awesome as it is? You simply cannot underestimate the value of first-rate facilities. Look at Texas for proof of that, and then the UM basketball facilities to show the opposite side of the spectrum. They know how important it is to have an outstanding place to work in. It is similar to the theory that providing a professional work environment increases employee productivity and company morale. Along with the staff, these are the first steps towards bringing Michigan State University football back to greatness.
This makes me goddamn proud to be a Spartan. And of course a special thanks to the Skandalaris family and all others who donated to make this a reality. If I ever make it Tanfan rich, I'm going to pump some coin into the University.
GO GREEN!

Beautiful. Just what the doctor ordered. I've GOT to believe it was an element in this year's recruiting. Shows we're serious about our football.
Thought #1: Where is the tribute to George Webster, the greatest Spartan football player ever??? OK, so he played for the AFL and took the money, but there HAS to be a fitting tribute somewhere.
Thought #2: Agree with the previous poster - couldn't we leverage some of that money and the same architectural firm to do something with the concourse?

Out-damn-standing facility!
If that doesn't get an 18 year-old recruit's blood in a flood to play football for MSU, not sure what would!

I got to tour this place the other day. Let me tell you, the pictures dont do it justice.
Especially see all the players from MSU that have had their careers fail because they played for the Lions
