Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

ASU students definitely agree that football is the primary sport that’s followed and talked about here. While ASU football didn’t do so great this past season, their followers are still faithful and full of spirit. The students who are into the other sports here usually either play a sport or know someone on a team. Baseball and basketball can be pretty popular among students as well. Being a Division I school, ASU sports are admirable. While intramural and club sports are not as popular as the varsity sports, there is still an impressive number of students who participate in them. There are so many opportunities for athletes who do not have the time or ability to participate in varsity sports. There are classic popular sports like soccer, lacrosse, and volleyball as well as specialty sports like martial arts and different forms of dance. The Hip-Hop Coalition is widely known at ASU and provides and upbeat, fast, and fun atmosphere for both males and females that are into dancing. Of the many students at ASU, and the great number of hot bodies here, it’s obvious that a good number of them find something at this school to keep them in shape.

ASU pride and support are highly visible, as demonstrated by the often intimidating student turnout for football and basketball events in particular. The biggest, and most heated, game of the year is that between ASU and U of A (University of Arizona) football, played late in the season. Even when the teams meet in Tucson, home of the Wildcats, many students make the trip to show their support. The Sun Devil/Wildcat rivalry is the most storied in the state and among the most infamous in the region. If you love sports, there is surely a team at ASU that will fit your interest.

ASU Has School Spirit

Sports at ASU are taken very seriously. Every Friday, students wear gold to support the football team. There are tailgating parties, and discounts for students that attend. At games, the fans are supportive and make the experience enjoyable.

Strong School Spirit, Good Facilities

I'm not really a hardcore sports person, but the school sports experience is fun to participate in from my point of view. The fields and facilities are nice, school spirit is pretty high, football games are kind of a big deal and you can hear the cheering from a significant distance away. The weather when not super hot is absolutely great for being out and about in, and therefore there's a lot of great outdoor areas with shade and cool grass.

Sports Are Great

The football team is the best yet first of all. The students can get involved with any sports team and actually feel friendship.

Most Popular Sports

Varsity Football and Men’s Basketball are huge! End of story. Every ASU student should experience at least one game, no question. Both sports attract a huge crowd with a great display of school spirit, maroon and gold style. Intramural sports are very popular, as well, with clubs, fraternities, sororities and other groups competing.

Most Overlooked Teams

It seems as though all teams, other than football and basketball, are overlooked. You don’t hear much talk amongst students of any team, unless they broke a record, made it to finals, etc.

School Spirit

Students are definitely not apathetic when it comes to school spirit. This is apparent at the football games alone, where thousands of students show up wearing gold, and paint their faces with ASU symbols. Football season is so huge here, and even the students who aren’t interested in football show up in their best Sun Devil gear ready to cheer on their fellow students. On a regular basis, ASU clothing can be seen on everyone in the surrounding town, including people who don’t even go to school here. Hundreds of stores in the area sell ASU gear, and many people are proud to buy it. The fact that ASU’s rival, U of A isn’t far off—located in Tucson—probably helps our school spirit soar. A lot of the cars here can be seen displaying an emblem of Sparky or reading “Arizona State.” Oh yes, we are proud to be Sun Devils.

Getting Tickets

Season tickets are a must. As of Fall 2009, a dual football/basketball student season ticket package was offered for an unbelievably low price of $99. For non-season ticket holders, buy tickets in advance! For season ticket prices, call (480) 727-0000. For single game tickets, call (480) 965-2381. Or log on to www.thesundevils.com. The sporting events are worth buying tickets for---they’re so much fun!

Best Place to Take a Walk

There’s an outdoor dirt track that goes around the large field outside the SRC; that’s a good place to walk or run for exercise because it’s rarely crowded. Palm walk is a beautiful strip that cuts down the middle of campus, if you’re just looking to take a nice walk and admire the campus. If you have people visiting, take a walk down Mill Avenue; it has a cozy downtown feel that is perfect for a pleasant stroll.
