Arizona’s current football gameday page still links this 2024 season-price diagram. Use the numbered sections, levels and marked obstructed-view areas as an orientation reference; all printed amounts are historical 2024 season prices, not current ticket quotes. The current A–Z guide calls the venue Casino Del Sol Stadium. Confirm current section allocation, entry and accessible arrangements against your actual ticket and today’s official guide.

Need to Know

Watch out for
Arizona’s current guide permits clear plastic/vinyl bags up to 12 × 6 × 12 inches, one-gallon clear bags and searched small hand-size clutches, with inspected medical exceptions. The linked section diagram is explicitly a 2024 season-price map: its printed prices are historical and should not guide today’s purchase. It also marks obstructed-view areas. Check the actual section, row, ticket restrictions and current carry-in instructions before leaving home.

Inside the Venue At A Glance

01

Mixed

Arrival & transportation

The central campus location supports transit and walking, but Tucson heat changes the meaning of a short distance. Shade, water, and a slower pace should be built into the route.

02

Mixed

Seat & section strategy

Upper elevation improves the field view but increases stairs and exposure. For daytime starts, the shaded side and sun angle can matter more than proximity to midfield.

03

Positive

Event-day character

Night games bring cooler air, a visible mountain horizon, and a more comfortable campus atmosphere than early-season afternoon dates.

Reviewed 10.13.26

Treat heat as the first planning constraint, use campus transit or reserved parking, and choose shade and kickoff time before chasing the lowest row.
