SPARE Councils

SPARE are completely comprised of current MTSU students working together to plan events, as well as operating the Student Union Game Room. MTSU Student Programming and Raider Enertainment operates events throughout the school year including movie nights, open mic nights, and small-scale comedians and bands. Additionally, there are special events such as the Connection Point Comedian, the Haunted House, and the annual screening of Rocky Horror Picture Show. More information on each of the councils can be found below:

Concerts

SPARE presents music from a wide array of genres to the student body. Hundreds of professional entertainers and internationally famous concert acts have performed at MTSU. Regional and local artists are featured regularly, and other opportunities to host award-winning college acts and national touring artists may arise throughout the year. 

For more information, contact the Concerts Manager at concerts@mtsu.edu or visit us in Student Union, Room 340.

Films

Throughout each week in the school year, SPARE presents full length feature films in the Student Union Video Theater. Selections may include current major studio releases, documentaries, cult films, throwback films, and public domain movies. Additionally, our films program runs two major annual traditions: The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and the annual MTSU Student Film Festival.

Game Room

Located on the first floor of the Student Union Building, the Game Room houses pool tables, ping-pong tables, and video game systems.

Regular patrons and visitors are encouraged to leave feedback and event ideas in the suggestion box.  If you are interested in employment as an attendant in the Student Union Game Room, please visit Handshake for the latest job postings. Facility information can be found here
