The Michigan State volleyball team has played all of its home matches in historic Jenison Field House since 1993. Built in 1940, Jenison was the home of Spartan basketball until 1989 and is where Magic Johnson helped lead Michigan State to its NCAA Championship in 1979.

Jenison, which is currently the home to MSU volleyball, women's gymnastics, wrestling and men's and women's track and field, underwent extensive renovations in 2001. The volleyball facilities were improved to include a large new locker room, an expanded training room, a larger weight room and improved equipment room. The building also houses locker rooms for baseball, women's crew, field hockey, soccer and softball.

For volleyball, the court runs north and south to accomodate 5,017 fans. A curtain that separates the south end of the Field House from the playing floor can be raised to accommodate more spectators. State hosted the First and Second Rounds of the NCAA Volleyball Tournament in Jenison Field House in 2003.

Jenison Field House received a new state-of-the-art wood floor that saw its first action during the 2005 season. Other recent improvements include new scoreboards, improved lighting, and a new public address system. In the locker room, player accomplishments are recognized above the lockers, while senior players are presented with a stool from the locker room with their name and years played on it.

Since moving to Jenison in 1993, the Spartan volleyball team has posted a 114-43 record (.726) in the facility, including an 18-0 mark in 1995, a 13-2 record in '96, a 14-3 mark in 2001 and an 11-3 record in `02.

Fans attending Spartan volleyball matches are treated to a truly spectacular event. A computer generates sound affects to complement the energetic and enthusiastic calls of public address announcer John Schuett. The Spartan volleyball blimp is a featured attraction, as well as Sparty, the MSU cheerleaders and promotional events between games two and three. Fans can also get into the action with the "Ace" and "Roof" cards that are distributed at the door.
