    SUN DEVIL STADIUM
    Located on the campus of Arizona State University, Sun Devil Stadium has been the home of the ASU Sun Devils for over 50 years. In the mid 1950s, Arizona State University decided to construct a stadium for its football program. The stadium was constructed between two small mountains and was completed in time for the start of the 1958 season. It was named after the team and had a seating capacity of 30,000 when it opened on October 4, 1958 when ASU beat West Texas State. Since its opening many additions have been completed to Sun Devil Stadium. Beginning in 1976, the capacity was increased to over 57,000. The following year the capacity was increased to over 70,000 when the upper deck was completed.

    After the 1987 NFL season, the St. Louis Cardinals moved to Arizona and Sun Devil Stadium. Prior to the team's first season at Sun Devil Stadium, more renovations were completed at the stadium. Over 1,000 seats were added, along with an athletic complex on the south end of the stadium, a scoreboard and four video boards. In 1989, a three-story, 60,000 square-foot building was constructed atop the upper deck on the west side, that contains two 30-suite levels, a modern press box, and eight additional private suites. Today, Sun Devil Stadium has over 73,000 seats. The main grandstand is in the shape of a horseshoe. Additional seating is located in the south end zone where the main video/scoreboard is located. Fans who attend games at Sun Devil Stadium receive outstanding views of the surrounding area. The Arizona Cardinals moved from Sun Devil Stadium and to University of Phoenix Stadium after the 2005 season. In addition to being the home of the Sun Devils, Sun Devil Stadium is the home of the annual Insight Bowl Game and has previously hosted the Fiesta Bowl from 1971-2006 including 4 National Championship games (1987, 1989, 1999, 2003).

For the safety and enjoyment of all fans, please keep the following guidelines in mind when attending ASU football games.

    In order to have a great atmosphere inside and outside of Sun Devil Stadium for home football games, tailgating policies are in place. These policies coincide with the Arizona Board of Regents policy 5-108 (A)(8) which states the authority of the president to permit the consumption of alcohol at designated times and in designated areas of the university on days when football games are played at the Tempe campus. Unless otherwise designated by the president, consumption of alcohol at authorized tailgate parties is limited to beer and wine and does not include spirituous liquor, wine, or other alcoholic beverages.

    Along with that policy, the following are policies regarding each facility designated as an authorized football gameday parking lot/structure.

    • One space per vehicle, per pass.
    • There will be no saving spaces.
    • Parking lots in the northern portions of campus (season pass holder areas) open 5 hours prior to kickoff; all other ASU lots and structures open 3 1/2 hours prior to kickoff.
    • No glass containers are allowed in the lots.
    • Please use only propane gas grills in lots. No open flames.
    • In parking structures, grilling is only allowed on the top level (roof).
    • Alcoholic beverages are limited to beer and wine.
    • Vehicles pulling trailers will be directed to the RV parking lot.

    ASU also encourages its fans to tailgate in a responsible manner, respectful of the campus and respectful of other Sun Devil fans and fans from visiting schools.

    Any violations of these policies will result in relocation out of the parking lot and subject the pass holder to having their parking pass revoked.
