Anyone following the Sun Devil Football program knows that the last stage of renovations to iconic Sun Devil Stadium has been underway since the spring. Today, as we count the hours until kick-off, it’s safe to say that fans attending the game will be enthused by the work completed on the east side of the House of Heat and some news involving Sparky’s Stadium Shop.
The east-side renovation, like that of the west, has been a complete rebuild from the ground up. It features new seat backs in the center sections of the lower bowl, a huge upgrade in amenities, a prestigious club level with premium seating and suites, and drumroll… added retail space for Sun Devil goods and apparel.
Sparky’s Stadium Shop is one of only a handful of brick and mortar college stadium locations operated by online powerhouse, Fanatics. Other stadium shops under their management include Texas, Clemson, LSU, Nebraska, and Oklahoma.
As part of the re-imagining of Sun Devil Stadium, new locations for Sun Devil merchandise were agreed upon to offer a more complete gameday experience for fans. Simply put, there are more ways to spend your time in the House of Heat and more ways to spend your hard-earned money on the ASU products you love!
First, there’s the main Sparky’s Stadium Shop in the Carson Student Athletic Center. The lobby is home to the coveted Territorial Cup trophy, many other trophy displays, and information about legendary Sun Devil teams and athletes. The store, which is adjacent to the showroom, operates during normal business hours year-round. Fans can access the Stadium Shop from the southeast side of Sun Devil Stadium.
And now for the new stuff!

- A new air-conditioned building
- Features three televisions and (sshhhhh) a strategic location to get out of the heat

SOUTHWEST, Outside of the stadium
Finally, there are two spots located near the Southwest entrance of Sun Devil Stadium.
The first is a new tent with a sizable selection of merchandise at what is known as the Dignity Health Southwest stairs.
The second is a trailer along Veteran’s Way where the Sol Devil’s Tailgate once was. NOTE – Plan accordingly because this is the last location approaching the stadium from the southwest where fans can get clear bags for their belongings before entering the House of Heat!
There you have it. Several new locations await for you to trade your hard-earned cash for the latest licensed Sun Devil “merch” from brands like Adidas, Original Retro Brand, New Era, Colosseum, and local Stay True Apparel Co.
