EAST LANSING, Mich. - A leadership gift from former Michigan State All-America offensive tackle, Flozell Adams, brings the fundraising efforts for Spartan Stadium's North End Zone Expansion Project to over $20 million. The two-story, 50,000-square-foot structure features new locker rooms, training room, media center and recruiting lounge. The $24 million addition is scheduled for completion in July 2014.
Adams' $1.5 million gift is among the largest donations Michigan State Athletics has received from a former student-athlete, and it will enhance the home locker room area. Pending Board of Trustee final approval, the home locker room in Spartan Stadium will be named for Flozell's late mother, Rachel Adams.
"The primary reason I made the financial commitment is because there's a real need for the new facility," Adams said. "The reality is that the locker room has changed very little over the last 30 years, so it's time for a major makeover."
Before she passed away in 1996, Rachel Adams would wait for her son in the tunnel outside the Spartan locker room to greet him after his games. She was proud of Flozell's athletic accomplishments as well as his academic success. Adams recently launched The Fairman-Adams Project, a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to aid those diagnosed with breast cancer. Adams lost his mother to breast cancer and in addition to his gift to MSU, he will pay tribute to her legacy through the work of his foundation.
"My mother was my rock. I could talk to her about anything and everything. We spoke on Fridays before every game, and I looked forward to her hugs after every home game. This donation and naming opportunity is the appropriate way to thank her and pay tribute to her. She was certainly a difference-maker in my life, and she loved Spartan football Saturdays."
A four-year letterman and three-year starter while at Michigan State, Adams earned Walter Camp First-Team All-America and Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year honors as a senior in 1997. A first-team All-Big Ten pick by both the coaches and media as a senior, he started all 12 games at left tackle and helped the Spartans rank No. 24 nationally in rushing offense.
Adams was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the second round (No. 38 overall) of the 1998 National Football League Draft and became a five-time Pro Bowl selection (2003, 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2008). He spent 13 years in the NFL, including 12 seasons in Dallas (1998-2009) and one year with the Pittsburgh Steelers (2010). In 2009, Adams was ranked among the Cowboys' Top 50 all-time players (No. 43). He played for the AFC Champion Pittsburgh Steelers in 2010 and started in Super Bowl XLV against Green Bay.

Football. Flozell Adams Provides Leadership Gift For Stadium Project
A shift in the wind Saturday afternoon apparently sent embers from a nearby fire into an old one-room schoolhouse in New Liberty, destroying the structure.
No one was hurt in the midday fire, but the loss of the stone building surely will be noticed by people who live in the area and often used it as a local landmark.
New Liberty firefighters said a member of the family that owns the building was burning debris in a nearby ditch when the wind evidently shifted and ignited the building.
By the time firefighters arrived, the roof had collapsed, and because the building was not insured, they allowed it to burn rather than risk injury trying to fight it. A large part of one of the walls had already collapsed long before the fire even started, they said.
A handful of rural Scott County fire departments responded to the blaze.
As firefighters kept watch over the building to make sure the fire didn't spread, people watched from across New Liberty Road, some of them taking photos.
Among those gathered was Beverly Meyer. She was in the last eighth-grade class to attend school in the building during 1952. She lived just across the road, Meyer recalled, so it was easy to get to school in the morning and go home for lunch.
Meyer also recalled that the school housed kids from kindergarten through eighth grade, all in one room. She said that while one class was taking instruction, the rest would move to the back of the room and quietly do their studying.
Like a lot of old schoolhouses, this one had been used as a barn.
Lynn Sievers, the owner, who lives across the road, said she had chickens in it. But because of its condition, she had been thinking of tearing it down.

MANHATTAN Bill Snyder has a nostalgic side.
So do I.
We were walking off the field after Kansas State concluded its football media day one fall, and I wondered about the Big Eight Room in the Vanier Complex. Usually, thats where Snyder conducts his weekly media sessions.
Not that day, however. So I had to ask whether the room, with ornate carvings depicting logos of all the Big Eight members, was being removed or remodeled.
Oh no, he said. As long as Im here well have the Big Eight Room.
Now, however, it's in jeopardy. And thats a good thing.
Plans and drawings were released Saturday detailing a complete makeover of K-States football complex. It will be gutted Big Eight Room and all to provide facilities more suitable for competing in the big time, beginning with the Big 12.
The project, priced at $65 million, is ambitious, aggressive and appealing. Necessary, too.
The arms race in college athletics requires teams particularly in football to compete between white lines, while hoping to keep budgets from curdling in red ink. K-State athletic director John Currie is confident this overhaul can be managed after the namesake of the complex the Vanier family provided $20 million in seed money.
Five months ago no funds had been raised for the do-over on the north side. Now, roughly $38 million has been donated, a nice chunk of the $50 million K-State wants to raise with private funds. The final $15 million will come from athletic department revenues.
