Weather from Open-Meteo. Updates hourly.
Buy primary-market tickets through the official Arizona State football ticket page. Ticketmaster is ASU's official marketplace for verified resale. Colorado season ticket holders and Buff Club members can request away-game tickets through the CU ticket office.
The game is scheduled for Saturday, November 7, but kickoff is still TBD and the date remains subject to television selection. Check the official ASU schedule before finalizing Saturday plans.
Arizona State uses mobile tickets through the Sun Devil Game Day app and Ticketmaster. Sign in, open the Colorado game and add each ticket to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet before traveling to Tempe. Stadium Wi-Fi and cellular service may be weak.
Transfer tickets before game day if anyone will enter separately. ASU recommends that each guest hold an individual ticket to make entry faster.
CU's delivered allotment had not been published as of August 27, 2026. Third-party seating references identify Section 23 as the designated visitor section. Treat the section printed on the delivered ticket as definitive.
The visiting-team entrance and will-call area are at the northeast end of the stadium. Bring a government-issued photo ID for will-call pickup. ASU states that all seating areas can be reached from any gate.
Children ages two and under enter free with a paid adult when seated on the adult's lap. No pass or ticket is required for the child.
Accessible seating is spread across the lower and upper levels. Call or text the Sun Devil ticket office at 480-727-0000 before game day to request an accessible location.
Arizona State is changing its football parking layout in 2026 because construction on a new indoor practice facility begins beside the stadium in August. Do not rely on a 2025 parking map or an older lot number. Download the current map after ASU finishes parking selection and posts the game-day layout.
ASU's general game-day guide lists paid public parking in campus structures and lots, including Novus, Stadium and Packard structures. The guide historically lists general lots opening 5.5 hours before kickoff and permit lots opening seven hours before kickoff, but the 2026 construction plan may change those locations and times.
The official Buffs Bash is scheduled for Lot 59 East at 200 S Packard Dr. Reconfirm that location after the 2026 parking map is published.
Valley Metro Rail is the simplest option during construction. Use the A Line and exit at Veterans Way/College Avenue immediately west of the stadium. A local day pass is $4 as of August 2026.
The Tempe Streetcar stops at Marina Heights on the north side of the stadium and connects with the park-and-ride at Dorsey/Apache Boulevard. Tempe's Orbit circulator is free and can also reach the stadium area, but verify the game-day route and service hours.
Arizona State does not publish a dedicated football rideshare zone. Its official fan drop-off point is near the South Packard Drive Parking Structure, also called Structure 7. Guests with limited mobility can continue to the courtesy-cart pickup area.
Because Packard Drive access may change during construction, follow game-day signs rather than using the stadium address as the pickup pin. Valley Metro is likely to be more predictable after the game.
Each guest may bring one clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bag no larger than 12" x 6" x 12", one one-gallon clear freezer bag, or one small clutch no larger than 4.5" x 6.5". Diaper bags, solid backpacks, fanny packs and mesh bags are prohibited.
Medically necessary bags are allowed after inspection. Review the official clear bag policy before traveling. The stadium does not provide bag check.
Mountain America Stadium has College Avenue, northeast, southeast, southwest and northwest entrances. ASU states that all seating areas can be reached from any gate.
The visiting-team entrance and will-call pickup are at the northeast end. Enter there if you need visiting-team ticket assistance; otherwise use the gate with the shortest line or the one printed on your ticket.
General gates open 90 minutes before kickoff. Club-ticket holders may enter two hours before kickoff through the northwest or southwest pass gates.
ASU recommends reaching the gate at least one hour before kickoff. All guests pass through walk-through metal detectors and bag screening.
The main Sun Devil ticket office is on the south side of the Carson Student-Athlete Center. Visiting-team will call is at the northeast entrance and requires a government-issued photo ID.
ASU had not published the 2026 game-day ticket window hours as of August 27. Call or text 480-727-0000 for ticket support before traveling.
Stands grouped by concourse area. Section numbers are approximate.
Restrooms are located throughout the stadium, and ASU states that accessible restrooms are available. The current public guide does not identify family-restroom or baby-changing locations.
First-aid stations are behind Section 12, on the upper southwest concourse, east concourse, upper northeast concourse and south concourse.
Arizona State does not publish a spectator Wi-Fi network for Mountain America Stadium and warns that stadium Wi-Fi or cellular signals may be weak. Save tickets to a mobile wallet, download maps and choose a meeting point before arriving.
| Available | Family item | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Yes | Age 2 and under tickets | Children two and under enter free with a paid adult when seated on the adult's lap. No ticket or pass is required. |

| Not confirmed | Diaper changing station | Arizona State does not publish baby-changing locations for the stadium. |
| Not confirmed | Family restroom | Arizona State confirms accessible restrooms but does not identify family restrooms. |
| Not confirmed | Nursing lounge | Arizona State does not publish a nursing-room location for the stadium. |
| Yes | Strollers | Umbrella strollers are permitted. Full-size strollers are prohibited. |
A sensory room is available through the Hall of Fame Lobby on the stadium's south side. It opens with the gates and remains available through the end of the game. Guest Assistance Centers also provide free locator wristbands for children.
Accessible parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis with a valid placard. Because of 2026 construction, the first level of the South Packard Drive Structure is the primary planned ADA parking location. Recheck the current map before traveling.
Courtesy carts begin two hours before kickoff from accessible parking and serve the southeast, northeast and northwest entrances. Inside the stadium, cart service is limited to the northwest entrance and main concourse. Elevators are available at the northeast and southwest entrances and behind Section 7.
Accessible seating, restrooms, concession counters and captioning are available. Call or text 480-727-0000 for tickets or 480-965-3933 for Guest Relations.
During the game, take found items or report losses at the Police Station behind Section 12. Items are kept for two weeks and then donated.
After game day, call or text Guest Relations at 480-965-3933. For in-stadium safety or lost-child help, text "Sparky" followed by the issue and location to 602-962-4962.
Take Valley Metro unless the group needs a car. The Veterans Way/College Avenue station is beside the stadium, and construction beginning in August will make old parking advice unreliable.
The Buffs Bash is planned for Lot 59 East, just south of the stadium, but that area is close to the construction zone. Confirm the lot before game day and be ready for CU Alumni to move the event.
November afternoons can still feel hot in direct sun. ASU allows factory-sealed water bottles up to 51 ounces and empty reusable plastic bottles, so bring water and sunscreen. Small retractable umbrellas are also permitted.
Section 23 is the usual visitor section, and visiting-team will call is at the northeast entrance. Reach the gate one hour early, especially if you need ticket help or are carrying an inspected bag.

Stadium info
Stadium details come from each athletic department’s official site, and we treat that information as accurate. Venues change bag policies, gate times, and parking maps between seasons, though, so things do drift. If you spot something out of date, or you have a tip that would help another Buffs fan, we want to hear it.
