With the Michigan State University Spartans posting a
perfect 8-0 season thus far and fully in contention to
clinch the Big 10 championship, Belle Tire is conducting a
ticket giveaway contest for the Nov. 6 game in East Lansing
against the University of Minnesota’s Golden Gophers.
Excitement over MSU’s undefeated record has been building at
a fever pitch throughout the region.
“We’re ecstatic to offer the opportunity for some lucky fans
to win Spartan football tickets,” says Don Barnes III,
Belle’s market development director. “Thanks to the Spartan
Sports Network and Michigan State University, the grand
prize winner will experience some incredible pre-game
activities.”
The top prize includes four tickets to the game plus free
parking and a full compliment of “hospitality,” which
includes a tour of Spartan Stadium and field access prior to
the game.
Ten second-place winners will receive a pair of tickets to
watch the Green and White take on the Maroon and
Gold.

The business was established in 1922 by Sam Waze with a
single location in Detroit named after his wife Belle. Their
son Herb carried on with the company and was joined in the
1960s by Don Barnes Sr., who had been a salesman for Kelly
Tire.
It remains a family business with a third generation of
Barnes’ now on board. Currently there are more than 80
“hometown tire dealer” stores throughout Michigan and Ohio
employing 1,200-plus workers.
