Michigan and Michigan State Football will be facing off Saturday night under the lights in East Lansing at Michigan State University, with a 7:30pm EST kickoff. If you're planning to watch it from home, you can catch it on NBC sports, but if you're local- it might be more affordable than ever to catch it in person.

In spite of Michigan being ranked #2 right now, ticket Prices are seemingly crashing for the rival game. Currently on Seatgeek, which is their official ticket partner, there are tickets listed as low as $52 in the student section.

Meanwhile on other websites like stubhub, you can find tickets listed in the student section for $58 and tickets in section 120 for as low as $83, which is a record low for this normally sold out game.

Meanwhile, other Michigan games this season are still selling for well over $200 a ticket, so if you're looking to see them this season, this still may be your best chance even if it's likely to be a shut out.
