Sun Devil Stadium is an outdoor football stadium on the campus of Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona. It is home to the Arizona State Sun Devils college football team of the Pac-12 Conference. The stadium's seating capacity as of 2018 is 53,599, reduced from a peak of 74,865 in 1989. The natural grass playing surface within the stadium was named Frank Kush Field in 1996 in honor of the former coach of the Sun Devil football team.
The stadium has hosted two annual college football bowl games: the Fiesta Bowl from 1971 to 2006 and the Cactus Bowl from 2006 to 2015. Sun Devil Stadium was also home to the Arizona Cardinals of the National Football League (NFL) from 1988 through the 2005 season. Following the 2005 season, the Cardinals moved to State Farm Stadium.
