Top College Stadiums Across the United States by Region
The Southwest: Sun Devil Stadium (Arizona State University – Tempe, Arizona)

Sun Devil Stadium blends desert drama with gridiron heat, literally and figuratively. Carved into the red-rock slopes of Tempe’s Butte Hill, the stadium offers jaw-dropping views and sizzling atmospheres. Built in 1958 and expanded over the years, it has hosted everything from NFL games to Super Bowls—but it’s Saturdays in the fall when this place shines. The arid heat, rowdy student section, and striking sunsets over the valley create a surreal backdrop. It’s one of the few places where football feels mythic—an oasis of energy in the Sonoran desert.
