Arizona State Football opens its season on Saturday, September 5th, when the Sun Devils host Morgan State Bears at Sun Devil Stadium. Kickoff is at 7:00 PM, and the game runs until around 10:00 PM. For Ahwatukee families and college football fans, it's an easy drive to Tempe and a chance to catch some live Pac-12 action under the lights.
Whether you're a longtime ASU fan or you're just looking for a fun outing as the weather cools slightly, Saturday night games offer a better experience than the brutal midday heat of earlier in the season. The stadium atmosphere is electric, and the cooler evening temperatures make tailgating and parking lot hangouts much more bearable than they would be in July or August.
Tickets are typically available through ASU's athletic website. If you're planning to go, arrive early to find good parking and soak in the pre-game energy. It's a great way to kick off September and get back into the rhythm of fall activities after a long, hot summer.
