The game against the Cleveland Indians is scheduled to begin at 7:05 p.m., while the first-pitch ceremony is slated for 6:59 p.m.

Dantonio is entering his second season as MSU’s head coach. Last season, he led the Spartans to a 7-6 record and their first bowl game in four years.

He became the first coach in MSU history to begin his first season 4-0, as the Spartans defeated UAB, Bowling Green, Pittsburgh and Notre Dame to open the 2007 season.

MSU will open the 2008 season on Aug. 30 with a prime-time game at California.
