Sun Devil Stadium
One of the most aesthetic, dynamic, innovative and beautiful collegiate stadiums in the nation, Arizona State University's Sun Devil Stadium has played host to some of the best football games for more than four decades.
It has hosted Arizona State University football games since 1958, including the game on Sept. 21, 1996, when the playing surface was named Frank Kush Field as ASU upset top-ranked Nebraska 19-0 . It has hosted three national championships - Notre Dame versus West Virginia in 1988, Nebraska versus Florida in 1996 and Tennessee versus Florida State in 1999. And it has hosted the NFL's ultimate showcase - the 1996 Super Bowl, when the Dallas Cowboys pulled out a close win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The facility, regarded since 1958 as one of the nation's outstanding collegiate football facilities, also boasts a spectacular, second-to-none setting.
A complete playing surface renovationwas christened by ASU on Sept. 5, 1992, as the Sun Devils hosted Washington in the season-opener. At a cost of $2 million, the stadium addition accomplished four goals: 1) provided Sun Devil Stadium with a more durable playing surface; 2) provided better patron sight lines in the lower seating levels and, 3) expanded sideline area for player safety and 4) provided advantages to working television and print photographers.
