- In August 2008, the Spartans moved into one of the nation's finest football facilities. The $15 million expansion and renovation project for the Duffy Daugherty Building began in June 2007.
- The face-lift started with construction of the 25,000-square-foot Skandalaris Football Center that features new team, staff and position meeting rooms, coaches' offices and The Demmer Family Hall of History. MSU alumni Robert and Julie Skandalaris of Bloomfield Hills, Mich., donated $5 million as the lead gift for this $12.5 million phase of the project.
- The Demmer Family Hall of History provides a public display for MSU's rich football tradition, highlighting the many accomplishments of its outstanding former players, coaches and teams. The display area is named in honor of John E. Demmer, William and Linda Demmer, Ed and Laura Demmer, all of Lansing, and Brad and Peg Demmer (San Antonio, Texas), whose family gift is the most significant made to the football facility project.
- In April 2008, the Duffy Daugherty Football Building weight room increased in size from 9,000 to 16,500 square feet. The $2 million weight room expansion and upgrade was completed in September 2008.
- Former Spartan head coach George Perles and his wife Sally contributed $500,000 for the construction of a $1 million plaza outside the Duffy Daugherty Football Building.
