Arizona Wildcats Football Tickets

The Arizona Wildcats played their first intercollegiate football game in 1889, and joined the Pac-10 Conference in 1978. The school boasts seven members of the College Football Hall of Fame.

The Wildcats play home games on campus at Arizona Stadium, which holds more than 55,000 fans. The prime tailgating spot is the UA Mall, and while that area is reserved for season tailgate pass owners, the school has a waiting list for single-game tailgate passes.

Once in the stadium, you’ll see approximately 10,000 students in the “ZonaZoo,” which can get pretty loud. If the Wildcats receive the ball to start a game, fans will typically jingle their keys until the ball of kicked off. If the home team begins on defense, fans hold their arms above their heads to form an “X” while banging their wrists together.

According to Arizona’s website, the school’s most enduring tradition is the slogan and battle cry “Bear Down,” which dates back to the 1920s. The fight song Bear Down, Arizona can always be heard at home games.

Arizona State, located just over 100 miles away, is the Wildcats’ archrival. The schools meet annually in the Territorial Cup, which was first contested in 1899 and has been certified by the NCAA as college football’s oldest rivalry. The Wildcats host the game in even-numbered years, and hold a decisive all-time edge in the series.
