"Before ASU fans cheer on the Sun Devils as they take to the field in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl, they will have the opportunity to be a part of the pre-game excitement at Sparky's Touchdown Tailgate, which will feature former Sun Devil football legends, Sparky, the Spirit Squad and the band," Christine K. Wilkinson, president of the ASU Alumni Association, said. "The sellout of this tailgate indicates just how excited our fans are to support our team and celebrate this winning season in Head Coach Todd Graham's first season."

"This is a great showing of Sun Devil Pride by our loyal supporters," Rocky Harris, Sr. Associate AD for External Relations said. "We are extremely excited to spend the day in a great city like San Francisco with so many fans who bleed Maroon and Gold. It is an honor for us to face one of the Service Academies, and coupled with ASU's great military tradition, we strongly encourage those who are unable to make the trip to donate tickets to military families in the area "
