ASU football tickets on sale now for 7 home games

Sun Devil football has seven home games this season, starting with a Sept. 1 contest with UC-Davis, then will hit the ESPN family of Networks on Sept. 9, vs. Missouri and then a Sept. 24 contest with USC. All of the games are at night.

Click here to purchase tickets.

Some have stated recently that they wish "ASU played more night football games like they used to..." and ASU has already said its first three games will kick off at 7 p.m. or later this season. Dating to 2004, the results are pretty clear ... ASU still plays mostly night games and hardly ever plays an afternoon game in September.

With the sun still glaring early in the year, the administration has worked with the Pac-10 (and now Pac-12) and its television partners and helped them understand afternoon games aren't ideal here in September.

Counting this season's three Sept. games, ASU will have played 25 home games in Sept. or August from 2004-2011, and 22 of those will have kicked no earlier than 7 p.m. The three that were not, were a national ABC game vs. Georgia on Sept. 20, 2008 (5:15 p.m.), a Sept. 30, 2006 game vs. Oregon (12:30 p.m. on ABC) and the Hurricane Katrina game vs. LSU at 6:15 on Sept. 10, 2005 on ESPN.
