The Michigan State wrestling team's home is the 5,017-seat Jenison Field House. Featuring one of the nation's only dual meet wrestling platform, fans are treated to a truly unique wrestling experience. In addition, the Spartan wrestling program unveiled a 20-by-25 foot mural on the north curtain in 2001, highlighting former Spartan stars. Banners commemorating MSU's eight Big Ten championships and the 1967 National Championship team hang in the rafters, bordering the platform. In 2001, Jenison underwent an $8 million renovation, and in the fall of 2005, murals were added to the north and south ends portraying the sports held there. Jenison Field House is truly one of college wrestling's most intimate venues.
"Our wrestling venue is clearly one of the very best in the nation," head coach Tom Minkel said. "The wrestling platform allows our fans to be really close to the action. The platform is also the only one used for dual meets in the entire nation. Along with the spotlights and the huge wrestling mural behind the scorer's table, it really makes our meets unique, entertaining and dramatic."
