Izzone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Izzone is a section of students at Michigan State University men's basketball home games. Named for head coach Tom Izzo, the Izzone wraps around much more than three-fourths around the bottom tier of the Breslin Center, in addition to many more students in the upper level of the arena.
With nearly 4,000 members cheering on the MSU Men's Basketball team, the Izzone helps to give the Breslin Center an exciting and intimidating atmosphere, and a considerable home-court advantage. It also promotes a positive image of Michigan State University and its student body.
In 2006, it was ranked fourth greatest college basketball student sections by Sports Illustrated's SI on Campus magazine. It has been ranked as high as number one. [1]
