College Football Rivalry Game: Arizona vs. Arizona State

On November 23, 2012 we went to a college football rivalry game known as the Territorial Cup between Arizona University (based in Tucson, Arizona) and Arizona State University (based in Tempe, Arizona) in Tucson, Arizona.  Cody's Uncle Kevin paid for our tickets and good seats.  Cody's Dad and his wife Lucy came, as well as Kevin and Debi Howard, Cody's Uncle and Aunt.

While we were there some of the fans got rowdy and at least 7 fans were arrested near us for throwing popcorn and ice, and causing trouble.  Also, some were thrown out for having alcohol when it was forbidden.

Below are some of the pictures from that game, as well as the police arresting individuals.  Enjoy!  By the way, Arizona State won by 10 points, much to the chagrin of Uncle Kevin Howard.

 The view as we arrived at our seats.  The stands were not yet full as this was an hour before game time.

 The crowd really filled up the seats.  An estimated 51,901 fans filled the stadium.  This is only one portion of the stadium.
