1976
Seating renovations

Originally erected in 1958 (capacity 30,000), the stadium additions were begun 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.

Assisting in a stadium financing plan unlike any other in the nation, the largest and oldest Arizona State support organization, the Sun Angel Foundation, provided $4.5 million of the necessary funding. The Sun Angel contribution was particularly important because it also helped pave the way for bond clearance.

1992
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: 

1. Providing Sun Devil Stadium with a more durable playing surface 
2. Providing better patron sight lines in the lower seating levels
3. Expanded sideline area for player safety
4. Providing advantages to television and print photographers

2017

The north end video board at the time of its unveiling in 2017 was the eighth-largest video board in college athletics at 113-by-48 feet.

New for the 2025 season, the North Loge Boxes are field level premium seating options for fans who want an up close and personal view of Game Day.
