America's 50 Most Legendary Stadiums In Every State

3. Arizona – Sun Devil Stadium (Capacity: 53,599)

Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe stands as Arizona’s premier college football venue, hosting the Arizona State University Sun Devils since 1958. Nestled near the dramatic buttes of Papago Park and the Salt River, its desert setting provides a unique game-day experience under the Southwest sun (and occasionally, balmy evenings). With a capacity of around 53,599, the stadium has undergone renovations to enhance fan comfort, adding wider concourses, improved concessions, and upgraded seating. Historically, Sun Devil Stadium served as the longtime home of the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals and even hosted the Fiesta Bowl, giving it a storied legacy beyond just collegiate play. ASU fans turn out in droves, often decked in maroon and gold, generating a spirited environment that can rattle visiting teams.
