Tempe, Ariz. - The annual Arizona State University Spring Football Game is but one of the free activities planned to take place at Sun Devil Stadium on Saturday, April 15.
The festivities kick off at 1:30 p.m. with Sun Devil players and coaches leading children (eighth grade and under) in a series of interactive drills at the north end of Frank Kush Field. At the opposite end of the turf, ASU players will sign autographs and fans will have the opportunity to "Dress Like a Sun Devil" and have a free photo taken with Sparky, the Sun Devil mascot. Also taking place at the south end of Sun Devil Stadium is a cheerleading clinic for kids. In addition, Arizona State student-athletes will give tours of the Intercollegiate Athletics Building, where fans can learn about upcoming facility renovations and expansion.
Shortly after 3:00 p.m., the Sun Devil football team will take the field for the first time in 2000 as it warms up for the intersquad Spring Game, taking place from 4:00-5:00.
Ongoing activities throughout the afternoon include a "Select-a-Seat" promotion for new ASU season ticket holders, registration for the Sparky Kids Club and the distribution of promotional items such as 2000 schedule magnets. The ASU Team Shop will be open to satisfy all Sun Devil apparel needs, while fans can also purchase "Legends" merchandise, including equipment from past football seasons.
Fans are encouraged to arrive at Sun Devil Stadium early, as the first 1,500 individuals through the gates are invited to attend a free barbecue, beginning at 2:00.
