Secondly, tailgating on campus at ASU doesn't really occur. You're only technically allowed to tailgate in the parking lot at Sun Devil Stadium. I've done this - once. 100 degree heat + black asphalt does not equal fun, just so you know. Bring an EZ-UP.

What else do you need to know? Technically, you're not allowed to drink liquor. Only beer and wine or allowed (this is largely ignored), but helpful safety tip to prevent the cops from hassling you: don't display bottles of Jack Daniel's on your tailgating table. Keep them in the cooler.

Also, once the game starts - you're not allowed to keep drinking. If you have friends who make it out for the game who don't have tickets and want to watch out in the parking lot - that's fine. Cops will be looking for people drinking once the game has started.  If spotted with adult beverages, you will get a ticket.

Why all the rules?

Arizona has really draconian alcohol consumption laws.  It will make enjoying a game as though you were in Athens darn near impossible.

The stadium itself is on the north side of campus, tucked in between a ridge, and largely isolated from the rest of campus (meaning there's nothing else around it except for the parking lot). You're going to be a doing a lot of walking on black asphalt in 100 degree heat before the game. It's not really going to be pleasant.

I would heartily recommend Mill Avenue as an alternative before the game, and maybe heading out to the stadium right before kickoff.

But other than that, enjoy! All in all, Sun Devil fans are quite fun and realistic about their team - certainly more so than Arizona fans, who have one of the most hilarious superiority complexes on the face of the planet.
