Maryland football (3-1, 0-1 Big Ten) will take the field for its second Big Ten game Saturday as it hosts the Michigan State Spartans (2-2, 0-1 Big Ten) at “The Shell.”
Saturday will mark the debut of SECU Stadium, the new name for the Terps’ home field, which was previously named Capital One Field at Maryland Stadium. The university announced the partnership with SECU — pronounced “see-cue” — on Sept. 16. The deal between the parties is for 10 years and guarantees Maryland $11 million, $2.5 million of which will go toward the new basketball practice facility.
The Terps have struggled against Michigan State as a Big Ten member, owning a lowly 1-6 record against the Spartans since 2014.
