Google Maps may choose a different gate or omit private indoor connections; follow the listed route notes and venue access rules for onsite hotels.

Walking from your hotel to the gates

The Red Cedar walk

Spartan Stadium sits on the north bank of the Red Cedar River, so almost every walking route follows the river path in from campus or Grand River Avenue. Harrison and Red Cedar Roads close to traffic well before kickoff.

Note: The river path is unlit in stretches. After a night game, use Harrison Road instead.

Our walkable-only rule

Every hotel on this page has a continuous pedestrian route from a Spartan Stadium entrance: sidewalk, plaza or covered walkway, with no freeway crossing and no shuttle. Anything beyond roughly a 18-minute walk, or separated by a highway, river or rail corridor with no crossing, is excluded — however close it looks on a map.
