Since getting to Michigan State, new athletic director J Batt has done nothing but work.
As (the ever-controversial) Kanye West would say, "He's done miracles on me."
Batt has done a lot in a short period of time from getting the NIL fundraising off the ground to adding some new concession stands to Spartan Stadium to opening parking lots early for Friday's season opener to reviving the Munn Field tailgate. He's doing everything fans wanted to see, and more.
And now, it looks like he's upgrading the game-day experience for football once again.
During his appearance on Matt Sheehan's Locked On Spartans podcast on Wednesday, Batt spoke about anything ranging from playing Central Michigan in the future to improvements to the game-day experience. On that note, he said "focus should be to the skies" when talking about Friday's game-day experience.
The rumors are true?👀

There were plenty of theories and rumors circulating about what the new theatrics for game days could be, and from what Batt said, it sounds like there could be a fireworks display at Spartan Stadium for the first time.
This could also mean a flyover, but the game will be at night and that's hard to organize and pay for, so it seems like this might be more of an in-house addition.
Again, nothing is set in stone and it might not even be fireworks, but that was the rumor and that's what it's looking like. I think most fans would love this addition to a night game-day experience.
Zeke the Wonderdog might not like it, however.
