Sun Devil fans ride in style from West campus to football games


A West Valley tradition continues in 2008 as Arizona State University makes it fun and convenient for fans to get to Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe for home football games. Round-trip buses will take fans from ASU’s West campus in northwest Phoenix to each of the seven home games.

“We’re pleased to continue making it easy to travel to football games and get dropped off near the stadium,” says Bobbi Magdaleno, director of alumni and constituent relations at the West campus. “Sun Devil fans appreciate the bus service and realize that getting there can be part of the fun.”

Buses depart ASU’s West campus, at 47th Avenue and Thunderbird Road, one-and-one-half hours prior to kickoff. Space is available on a first-come, first-served basis, with advance payment required.

The round-trip cost is $12 per person, per game (or $20 for two people). Active paid members of the ASU Alumni Association pay $10 for the round trip.

The 2008 ASU home football schedule is:

Saturday, Aug. 30 – Northern Arizona

Saturday, Sept. 6 – Stanford

Saturday, Sept. 13 – UNLV

Saturday, Sept. 20 – Georgia

Saturday, Oct. 25 – Oregon

Saturday, Nov. 15 – Washington State (Homecoming)

Friday, Nov. 28 – UCLA
