About Mountain America Stadium
Welcome to Mountain America Stadium, the proud home of Sun Devil Football!
Located on the campus of Arizona State University, Mountain America Stadium is one of the most aesthetic, dynamic, innovative and beautiful collegiate stadiums in the nation!
Frank Kush Field was named the Collegiate Football Field of the Year in 2025 by the Sports Field Management Association. The natural grass, pristine playing field, and unique design for all six home games helped Sun Devil Football to a perfect 6-0 home record, Big 12 Championship and an appearance in the College Football Playoff Quarterfinals in the 2025 season.
Named after legendary Head Coach Frank Kush, the stadium has hosted legendary players like Pat Tillman and cultural icons like Pope John Paul II. For more than four decades, it’s been the backdrop of unforgettable games like numerous Fiesta Bowls and Super Bowl XXX.
The stadium also annually hosts Pat’s Run, which benefits the Pat Tillman Foundation. More than 35,000 participants take part in the April tradition.

1976
Seating renovations
Originally erected in 1958 (capacity 30,000), the stadium additions began in 1976 (boosting capacity to 57,722) and 1977. The latter raised the seating to 70,491. The expansion effort was an $11 million undertaking, accomplished completely without the aid of state tax monies.

Playing surface renovations
A complete playing surface renovation was 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:
- Providing Sun Devil Stadium with a more durable playing surface
- Providing better patron sight lines in the lower seating levels
- Expanded sideline area for player safety
- Providing advantages to television and print photographers
