While Arizona State football has had inconsistent success, Sun Devil Stadium is a piece of sports history. The venue, opened in 1958, sits dramatically between the rocky buttes of Tempe, creating an unforgettable desert football atmosphere. It has hosted some of college football’s greatest games, multiple Super Bowls, and was even featured in the movie Jerry Maguire. The dry Arizona air and relentless sun make it a grueling place for visiting teams, adding to its reputation. Even in down years, Sun Devil Stadium is an iconic part of the college football landscape.
