Visit Phoenix reports that one of its iconic sports facilities is soon to receive a long-awaited makeover.

Sun Devil Stadium, home to thousands of loyal Arizona State University (ASU) football fans, will be getting a $210 million facelift starting next spring. Among the promised improvements are substantial upgrades to all public areas in the stadium, escalators, and a unique terrace for concerts and community events.

According to the Visit Phoenix newsletter, fans will also encounter new levels of comfort, as the renovations will create more leg room and provide seatbacks that will ensure fans are screaming about the plays, and not the chairs.

The team will continue to play in the stadium during the more than two years of state-of-the-art construction.

About Phoenix: Things are different in the desert. The sky is bigger. The stars are brighter. The sunsets stop you in your tracks. It’s a feeling that can’t be conjured, landscaped or kindled with twinkling bulbs. John Ford knew that. So did Frank Lloyd Wright. Come to Greater Phoenix and you’ll understand, too.

America’s sixth-largest city still has real cowboys and rugged mountains and the kind of cactus most people see only in cartoons. Phoenix is the gateway to the Grand Canyon, and its history is a testament to the spirit of puebloans, ranchers, miners and visionaries.

Projected against this rich backdrop is a panorama of urban sophistication: Resorts and spas that drop jaws and soothe souls. Stadiums and arenas worthy of the world’s biggest sports spectacles. Restaurants with inspired cuisine and inspiring patio views. Golf courses that beckon players the year round. Shopping centers as stylish and eclectic as the fashions they house.

 This is Greater Phoenix — Arizona’s urban heart and America’s sunniest metropolis. Learn more at the website
