Gameday like a Sun Devil

The ASU Alumni Association hosts the official game day celebrations all season long, for all ages. This is your official guide to cheering on the Sun Devils — near and far!

Sparky’s Touchdown Tailgates

Amp up for kickoff at home games and select away games with the premier pregame experience for ASU fans. Show up three hours before kickoff for live entertainment, food trucks, a beer garden, giveaways and special appearances by the Sun Devil Marching Band and Sparky. Save the dates for Sparky’s Touchdown Tailgates coming up this season. Tailgates are free, family-friendly and located on College Avenue, between Sixth and Seventh streets.

Current ASU students can join the Programming and Activities Board for the “Student Kick Off Zone” at Sparky’s Touchdown Tailgate. Sun Devils will get ready to Ignite the Inferno with games, food, student organization tables and exclusive giveaways!

Friday Night Inferno

The night before the UCLA and Washington football games, meet fellow ASU fans at a local spot for a spirited gathering. Enjoy drink and food specials. Learn more about the festivities in Pasadena and Seattle this football season. 

Sparky’s Pep Rally

The day before each game, tune in online to Sparky’s Pep Rally. Hear commentary on the week’s opponent from Sun Devil advocates Joe Healey, "Speak of the Devils" co-host, and Rob Reyes, known as “Jedi ASU,” with guest appearances from former athletes and coaches.
