Bathrooms have pee all over them! And I’m talking about the women’s bathroom!

Horrible and disgusting place. Nothing but a bunch of drunk men swearing and acting like children.

Easy to maneuver the stadium, the view from most seats are fine and staff is professional. My son and I had a great time. Bravo!

I know I’m completely biased and I DON’T CARE, THE best venue to watch college football PERIOD!!!
GO DEVILS!!!

I am so proud of ASU! It is a great school, with fantastic teams and wonderful students. Also they are truly a part of the Phoenix community. I hosted an event for a local nonprofit and ASU immediately stepped up and sponsored the event They are invested in local charity and it speaks to the outstanding character of the University. Thanks ASU!

An absolute hell for handicapped or seniors.
ASU, listen up: ADA is not an option, it’s the law.
Specifics: I am a mobility impaired individual. A ride up the hill in a golf cart to the concourse is a fine start. However, that’s it, no cart, escalator, or elevator whatsoever up to the upper level seats. We are told the carts cannot drive in the stadium.
How about the other side?. .. No way to get across the facility.
A well meaning individual ASU employee is waiting for a supervisor to okay a seat change, no one appears. I stand for forty five minutes. Man comes out to demand his TV be turned on.. . bellows rudely at the employee who I doubt has anything to do with his TV. In front of me passes a golf cart with a healthy smiling young man with an empty Chick Fil A bag. He seems to be able to get a ride through the concourse. Band is doing pre game show.
Solution was finally resolved by security man who made a decision, but by this time I’ve been standing way longer than I should have, watching people with walkers, canes and worse, trying to negotiate the inclines. No carts or wheelchairs in sight. Supervisor never showed.
What the _​_​_​_​? This isn’t the 19^th century. How are they allowed to get away with this?
Once seated, The Band sounds great, but wait? Arghh! the speakers sound awful. Just a din. Whole experience was so unpleasant, we just left. This won’t get better later.
I attend Pac 12 football at another facility regularly. Sure you can cut corners, but these folks are over their heads as far as providing basic needs. Just don’t.

I love Arizona State University. It is one of my favorite places on earth. You should love it too.
Sun Devil Stadium is glorious. They are remodeling it so that it is even more spectacular.
I can’t wait until we win the PAC 12 championship. We deserve it.
The basketball arena is also cool. The curtain of distraction is a brilliant piece of ASU pride.
A-​S-​U A-​S-​U!

There’s a good reason they don’t normally schedule football games during the day. But I’m only complaining because my team lost; it was a really nice day: sunny, a slight breeze, screaming fans. I love screaming fans even when they’re screaming against my team. Without screaming fans, there’s no one to shut up when your team almost completes one of the greatest comebacks in college-​football history.
The layout of the stadium is strange. Again, they don’t normally play during the day, but it was extremely odd to see the home team standing opposite the press box. And they were wearing black! If you really wanted a home-​field advantage, wouldn’t you make the visitors stand in the sun? And wouldn’t you dress in something other than the warmest color?
The sections and signs pointing to the sections are too confusing. There’s not enough access from one section to another, and you don’t know this until you’ve already climbed too many stairs or too much of a slope. They took a couple of sections of seats out of the north rim of the stadium to add a future video board, and the view right now is gorgeous, but really, you’re going to lessen your home-​field advantage just so people can watch on TV what they should be watching in front of their eyes? If you want to watch a game on TV, stay at home.
It’s a zoo getting out of the student section after a game, especially an ASU win.
Sun Devil Stadium has a lot of history, and I like that it’s attached to campus and the studenty part of Tempe, but I was expecting to be impressed, and I wasn’t.
Oh, the video they showed before the game with a giant Orange Julius Guy walking through Phoenix and eventually into the stadium was awesome! I love and miss the Orange Julius Guy. They need to lay off of the trident a little bit.

The pretzels are bad here and too salty and gave me a stomach ache and the cheese was terrible and too expensive for the portion and I’m never buying any food from here anymore -.-

I know a girl who is an Arizona Sun Devil. I won’t embarrass her by naming her, we’ll just call her M. I met her when I played a concert in Phoenix once. She’s really sweet, very self-​obsessed, she constantly takes all kinds of naughty selfies and sends them probably to every man she knows (and likes). (Which is a lot). (Which is fine).
She is married with kids, but looks about 15 years younger than she is. She is one of the most tanned girls I know. The term Sun Devil refers both to how tanned she is, and how bad she is when she frequently tries to persuade me to be her next affair.
I will not be doing that. But I’m sure there are a few Arizona males (maybe females, what do I know), who were less morally scrupulous.
First-​Hand Experience: Info on my personal visit to this stadium — I’ve seen the Cardinals play both at the new stadium, and here at Sun Devil years ago, and I actually think the crowd was louder here. I think it’s one of the louder, better college stadiums in the country, and for that reason I give it a big 4.
Now that I’ve been to every NFL stadium (current and former) and seen all 32 teams play live in the flesh, time to review them on Unilocal!I love stadia! I’ve been to every cool sports arena in the UK & North America, it’s an obsession I have with travel & sport. I’ve roamed America as a musician for years. In that time, I’ve seen sports games at (or toured when empty, or both) almost every major stadium in US/​Canada. Many pictures taken which I’ll upload eventually. On future travels, I’ll new pix, and add more stadiums! Watch this space!
***back to regular review***
I like that Phoenix has a Ted’s Hot Dogs (Buffalo’s finest), but my fave thing to eat in AZ has to be Carolina’s, some amazing south western food right near downtown Phoenix. Try it!
In any case, what does that have to do with the stadium?
Well this stadium is full of stunning Arizona girls, and it’s got a lot of character and atmosphere, and when the Tempe-​rature goes up, so does the crowd volume. If it were owned by an evil mathematician it would be Sum Devil. If it were an adult movie with a greek theme it would be Bun Devil. And if it were my stadium, it would be Pun Devil.
The Cardinals used to play here, which is why it is really named after the Devil, because in order to meet the devil, you must commit Cardinal Sin.

Nice Stadium. Fun to look at and great views. Love that it’s built between the MTS, Easy in and out. Not far from the airport. It’s a must see.

Lot of memories from my days as an undergrad, sitting in the Student Section w/​my fellow Phi Sigs. .. the stadium has undergone a number of improvements over the years, and still remains a great place to watch Sun Devil football!
Cheers!

Look… I’m all about college football, tradition, etc, but let’s be honest about Sun Devil Stadium.
It is not very good.
There is a reason the Arizona Cardinals were like… hey…give us our own stadium that doesn’t blow. If Sun Devil Stadium was awesome, they likely would have kept everything there and not built a massive awesomeplex in Glendale.
The tradition and history are awesome, I love that, but you know what I don’t love? Metal bench seating with seat numbers so close you are almost guaranteed to be sitting in the lap of the large drunk man next to you.
Bathroom lines so long there is a secondary line next to the bathroom line full of janitorial staff waiting to clean up the messes from people that couldn’t hold it for the lifetime it took to get into the restroom.
Sound? Well, the speakers are loud… but like guy standing in a room next to you with a megaphone loud… not a clear booming speaker you may expect at a large scale sporting event.
Videoboards? I’m not saying they are small and poor quality, but if you put them together and doubled the size, you might be about ¹⁄₁₀₀^th as nice as the videoboard in the new cowboys stadium.
There is a reason they are renovating it soon. After that renovation I’ll update my review.
Does it help that the last game I went to there I saw ASU get smashed by Stanford? They almost got smashed as hard as I did against the two people I sat next too on those cramped metal bleachers.
When it’s all said and done… Go Devils. That’s all that really matters.

So you want to go to a stadium that sits on top of the field and stacks up vertically? Well my first trip here definitely made me feel like that was the case. This is an extremely unique and interesting facility.
This place is built into the saddle between two hills on the edge of the ASU campus. I know as I walked around the entire area in armor. it was fun to traipse around and see what is going on out there. There is easy freeway access and a large bar scene to the southwest. I also enjoyed that they had a bunch of parking structures to help facilitate the crowds that may come to a few games here and there. The parking opens up between 5 and 7 hours before game time. Kinda crazy that you have to pay a bit extra for an early arrival but hey it is what it is. Not a huge amount of time IMHO either. I guess that is something that I find extra special about USC games. You can tailgate from 4 or 5am until whenever the game starts and after if you wish. Here that is not the same situation.
The stadium itself is very tight. I havent sat int he stands so I dont know what the sight lines are like. I have been in the pressbox, admin building, visitor press area, and on the field. The stadium itself feels very close to the field, from the field.
Pro Tip: They hand out mini programs as you go to your seats off of each aisle.
The ingress and egress for the fans is very crowded. This is true especially for the lower levels around the field. Do not expect to be able to exit the stadium very quickly after a game. I have no idea how the upper levels enter or exit.
The overall design is pretty kewl. However I wasnt too excited about the north end being on the field level and the southend being raised 15 – 20 feet over the field. Regardless, there is a lot to be impressed by with this stadium. I definitely like it much more than a place like UNLV, UNR, SJSU, etc. Hell I like it more than I like the Rosebowl as well.
So yeah I would love to watch a game here and I would definitely enjoy heading back for another game or two.

This was my first time traveling to sun devil stadium for the Washington/​ASU football game. The stadium is rundown, bathrooms are old, food could be a lot better. It costs a whopping $ 8 for a bag of kettle corn. It is also the most unsafest stadium in the PAC 12 in my opinion. There are not handrails at this stadium in the end zone seats. How do you expect my grandmother to make it up those stairs without falling? Awful

I’ve been going to Sun Devil Stadium for 40 years and I love it. This is all about college football but more important Sun Devil Football.
Yes I agree its old and some seats might be uncomfortable for non-​football people. It’s all about football. The food is okay not great but it’s about the entertainment.
I sit in the loge section which is in between the lower bowl and the upper bowl of the stadium. You have to pay a little extra for these seats but I take my mom and aunt. They’re old and the nice part about the loge is there is an elevators for them to get to there seats. In the loge there is free soda, popcorn, peanuts, plus dinner and desert. Dinner is okay food which always consist of either hot dogs or brats and some sort of chicken sandwich or something. Desert is always cookies or brownies.
Overall I love this place because it all about Sun Devil Football. For all those other people coming to root for the visitors. Your welcome but every stadium that you root for the visitor always gives you a hard time and that’s just part of football.
Go Devils!!!

I’m an SEC girl. I’m used to, shall we say, a ‘different’ type of college football experience. but I’m not IN the SEC land any longer so I have to say goodbye to classy dressed guys/​girls at tailgates and get used to half naked girls in skin tight shorts up their butts, guys in tank tops, etc. ;) Where are the boys with ties on? I’m in the desert now y’all!
Actually the stadium itself is great. I’m fortunate to have a friend with season tickets that have been in her family’s possession for a long time. The seats are great as is the commaraderie of her section. Everyone knows each other, is very friendly. The concession lines move quickly, accept cards, and has a huge variety of offerings.
My first game happened to be 111 degrees and a haboob rolled though, man that place can trap some heat and dust. ;) I’m going to another game tomorrow and it wil be much cooler so I ‘m excited to go to a game where I won’t be soaking wet with sweat and then covered in dirt.

I really wanted to like this stadium. I mean, Tempe, although a suburb of Phoenix, is kind of a college town. I would think they would have better facilities and show more support for their team and bowl game.
I was here a few years back for the Insight Bowl to watch my Iowa State Cyclones play the Minnesota Golden Gophers. If you aren’t familiar with Iowa State — our fans roll DEEP. You send us to a warm weather city in December/​January for a bowl game and you are guaranteed a HUGE turn out. This was no exception. I honestly felt bad for the Gopher fans (what there were of them). The tailgating lots were filled to the brim with Cyclones.
Now the stadium, that’s a different story. What a shit hole! There are definitely worse places to watch a game, but considering they host a fairly popular bowl game every season, you’d think that they would put more money into the product. I shudder to think that the NFL actually played a Monday Night Football game here when the Chargers were moved out of San Diego due to the wildfires in 2003. This is no place for that. It’s like the poor little sister to the Tostito’s Bowl in Glendale… time for ASU to get their ish together!
Tempe is a great little community. There are obviously hotels and tons of bars and restaurants. Four Peaks Brewing is one of my favorite stops. Oh — pack your sunscreen and expect lots of sun. There isn’t any shade (or very little) and it’s Arizona, so depending on when you go, it may be hotter than hell. Be prepared.

I really want to like this stadium, I do. It’s just that it’s too outdated for me. The food selection is limited. But I think the worst part about it is the lack of vibe during tailgates. Also, despite the huge size of the alumni base in Phoenix, they don’t come out to support ASU. When I attended the Oregon/​ASU game this year, there were plenty of empty seats!!! How can this place be empty when ASU had only 1 loss at the Ducks were in the Top 5 in the country?
Watching the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl was pretty cool, too bad the stadium wasn’t full. I hope the new renovations they have planned spruce it up a bit.
I do love College Football, so I’ll definitely be back.
