Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Drayton McLane Baseball Stadium at Kobs Field

223 Kalamazoo St

East Lansing, Michigan 48824

Situated on the Michigan State University campus in East Lansing, the ballpark is approximately 4 miles from downtown Lansing — a quick trip for fans across the capital area.

• Parking: On-site and nearby campus parking lots are available; parking may be free or paid depending on the game. Arrive early for the best spots.
• Public Transit: CATA (Capital Area Transportation Authority) bus service provides routes to campus.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Pickup and dropoff are available at campus entrances — follow campus signage for designated zones.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before first pitch. Early arrival gives you better parking options, an easier time navigating campus lots, and a relaxed entry before the game-day crowd builds. You’ll also have time to visit concessions and settle into your seats to catch batting practice and pregame warmups.

This is an outdoor venue, so check the forecast and dress accordingly. Spring games in East Lansing can be chilly or rainy — pack layers, a rain jacket, and waterproof footwear if needed. Summer games are typically warm and pleasant; sunscreen and a hat are smart additions, especially if you’re sitting in the berm or sun-exposed sections.

Walking from nearby lots is generally short with minimal elevation change. If you’re using public transit, build in a few extra minutes for the campus walk from bus stops. Rideshare is convenient for dropoff near designated campus areas — ideal if you prefer to skip parking altogether.

Venue Navigation

The stadium’s layout is straightforward and fan-friendly. A main seating bowl wraps from behind home plate down both baselines, with chair-backs centrally located and bench seating extending toward the corners. Berm seating beyond the outfield provides open, flexible space — perfect for families or fans who like to move around between innings.

Concession stands serve classic ballpark fare like hot dogs, pretzels, snacks, and beverages, and restrooms are located conveniently around the concourse. At select games, you’ll also find Michigan State merchandise so you can gear up in green and white before first pitch. Since you may spend time walking the concourse or grassy berm areas, choose comfortable footwear on game day.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Bag policies vary by event — please review your event listing and check the venue's official website for the latest guidelines before you go.
• Prohibited Items: Prohibited items vary by event — please review your event listing and venue policy updates prior to arrival.
• Re-entry Policy: No re-entry once you exit the venue.
• Service Animals: ADA-compliant service animals are welcome.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Dress in layers for early spring games — temperatures can drop after sunset.
• If you prefer a relaxed vibe, consider berm seating and bring a small blanket for added comfort.

Pre-Event Planning

Make the most of your visit by arriving early to explore the Michigan State University campus. Afternoon and evening games offer especially pleasant campus views, and sunset matchups can be scenic from the seating bowl or berm. It’s an easy way to soak in the collegiate atmosphere before first pitch.

If you’re coordinating with a group, choose a clear meetup point — the main entrance or a specific concession stand works well — and share your seating section in advance. This is particularly helpful if some of your party arrives by transit and others drive. For fans seeking the most comfortable view and a quick route to amenities, chair-back seats behind home plate are an excellent choice.

Looking to lock in value? Keep an eye on Drayton McLane Baseball Stadium at Kobs Field tickets for rivalry series and Big Ten weekends — these games often see elevated demand. Booking early helps you secure your preferred section and price.

Accessibility
