Many former players have recollected their experiences while taking the historical and Traditional “Walk” from Kellogg Center to Spartan Stadium. The book shows the transformation from the old to the new items that have made up the Spartan Traditions as well. Included is a history of our marching band and how they have become such a significant part of the Tradition at Michigan State University.

The final chapter is dedicated to the Spartan Fans who, over the years, help make up the Spartan Traditions. “The Tradition Continues – Spartan Football” is a must for any Spartan fan, as well as others.
