ASU Sun Devils Game Day Guide — Tempe
Mountain America Stadium · Tempe
The ASU Sun Devils play football at Mountain America Stadium (formerly Sun Devil Stadium) on the Arizona State University campus in Tempe, now competing in the Big 12. Game days turn Tempe into a sea of maroon and gold, with tailgates on campus and the bars of Mill Avenue packed before and after kickoff.
Season
College football season runs from late August/September through November, with bowl games in December. Most home games are Saturdays. ASU basketball and other sports run through the fall, winter, and spring at Desert Financial Arena nearby.
Game Day
Tailgating is a big part of the ASU experience, with lots and campus areas filling up hours before kickoff. The stadium sits right by Mill Avenue and Tempe Town Lake, so the pre-game and post-game scene spills into Tempe's bar district.
Venue
Mountain America Stadium
500 E Veterans Way, Tempe, AZ 85287
Parking
Campus and nearby lots serve game day and fill early — buy parking in advance through ASU. Many fans skip driving altogether and take the light rail, which is one of the best transit options of any Valley venue.
Getting There
The Valley Metro light rail runs right through Tempe with stops near campus and Mill Avenue — making ASU games arguably the most transit-friendly big-event experience in the Valley. Park-and-ride or rideshare to avoid campus traffic.
Where to watch & pre-game
The heart of ASU nightlife — a strip of bars and restaurants steps from campus and the stadium.
Lively gastropub popular with the college and game-day crowd.
Restaurants and patios near the stadium for pre- and post-game gatherings.
Game day tips
- Take the light rail — it runs right past campus and Mill Avenue and beats Tempe's game-day traffic.
- Get to Mill Avenue early on Saturdays; the bar district fills up fast around home games.
- Early-season games are hot — hydrate, wear sunscreen, and bring a hat for afternoon kickoffs.
