Michigan State University is proposing to build a $150 million Olympic sports arena and partner with a developer to build an adjacent hotel, housing, restaurants and office space on the corner of Trowbridge and Harrison roads.
About 14 acres of now largely wooded area directly south of the under-construction Student Health and Recreation Center on Harrison Road would be razed for the Spartan Gateway District.

The Rams moved to Los Angeles in 2016 and opened SoFi Stadium in 2020, but they’ve yet to find a permanent home for their main facility. After moving from Thousand Oaks to a temporary facility in Woodland Hills last year, the team has finally unveiled plans for a long-term setup.
Sam Farmer of the Los Angeles Times shared exclusive details about team owner Stan Kroenke’s proposal for a massive project at Warner Center, which would be home to the Rams’ headquarters. It would feature two outdoor practice fields, an indoor field, as well as all of the necessary office space for coaches and team employees.
Surrounding the Rams’ facility will be residential buildings and retail space for restaurants, shopping, parks and even two new entertainment venues with seating capacities of 2,500 and 5,000 people. [RamsWire]
