25 best college football fan atmospheres

25. Arizona State Sun Devils

The list has to start with one of the best party schools in the country, right? Well, Arizona State has actually tried to move further away from its party school rankings, but its reputation precedes itself. Getting fans who like to have a good time is a great start to a tailgating experience.

The weather in Arizona makes it immaculate for just about every game. There are no worries about it being too cold to feel your face. The rain stays away from the stadium more often than not. Of course, the weather also helps with the on-field product. There’s not a ton of sloppy football when it is 80 and sunny for most games.

Arizona State isn’t going to wow you on the field like Alabama or Ohio State, but they always have really fun players to root for. Brandon Aiyuk and N’Keal Harry were great on the field giving Pac-12 defenses fits. The on-field product may not be the best, but it’s almost always fun.

The food options are pretty good. Heck, it might be worth it just to eat In-N-Out for every game. That’s worth the experience on its own.

Then, there’s “The Inferno”. The student section for the Sun Devils is one of the more underrated sections in the country. It provides a sea of yellow that intimidates opponents and makes the experience one of a kind. If you’re not a student, it’s imperative to try and at least sneak in for a quarter so you can feel what it’s like to be in The Inferno.

The concessions are pretty affordable compared to other stadiums, so you can gorge yourself on five-dollar popcorn or a mega order of nachos for $9.
