1) I'm a little surprised for a school the size of ASU this place has as few reviews as it does. \n\n2) I'm shocked that the FTR Sun Devil Stadium was a fellow Golden Bear (I was at that game as well)!!! \n\nI actually have quite a history with Sun Devil Stadium. My dad is a proud ASU alum so growing up I regularly went to two or three ASU football games each season. I even worked concessions there my freshman year in high school, which happened to be the year the Super Bowl was played here as well as the Nebraska/Florida national championship game. \n\nSince 2003 the only times I've been to this stadium is when Cal comes in to play ASU in football, and although this is still a great stadium IMO (I've been to 8 of the 10 Pac-10 stadiums and this is one of my favorites) it's definitely lost a bit of its luster and could benefit from a face-lift. \n\nIt's picturesque for sure (I know that ASU likes to promote the fact that it's \"the only college stadium situated between two mountains\") and pretty easy to enter and exit (you might not think this is a big deal but try going to Memorial Stadium in Berkeley). The last couple times I've been here I've pretty much came to the game as it was starting and stayed in my seat the whole time except for pee breaks (bathroom lines aren't that bad...say you what you want about \"trough\" style urinals in the mens room, but they keep the line moving!) so I'm not sure what they've done with concessions. But from what I remember in the past, they do have more than your typical hot dog and pretzel stands. I think they have local vendors as well selling shaved ice, flavored lemonades, and \"gourmet\" popcorns. You don't find these kinds of concessions at all college stadiums, so the variety is nice. \n\nThe aluminum seats can be horrible when it's hot (luckily my last couple times here I've experienced nice weather) & the student section can get obnoxious (and no ASU students you shouldn't take that as a compliment...the \"insults\" (if you can even call them that) are so juvenile, and definitely go along with ASU's image as a university that doesn't produce the sharpest tools in the shed. \n\nAll in all, however this is still a great stadium to watch college football!!! I look forward to coming back the next time my Golden Bears come in and stomp all over the Devils. Come on ASU fans, even YOU have to admit things are looking pretty grim for you right now...
