The Traditions
The Sun Devils' most iconic tradition is the "Curtain of Distraction" โ€” a student section spectacle where costumed fans and surprise celebrity guests try to distract opposing free-throw shooters (basketball), but the football energy carries the same irreverent spirit.

Pregame Rituals
Watch for Sparky, the pitchfork-wielding mascot, leading the team onto the field as fireworks blast.

In-Game Moments
The marching band plays the fight song "Maroon and Gold" after every score, and fans raise their pitchfork hand sign โ€” the "Fork 'Em" โ€” throughout the game.

Must Experience
The Pat Tillman tribute, honoring ASU's fallen hero, is a powerful and emotional moment every season.

PRO TIP
Flash the 'Fork 'Em' pitchfork hand sign after touchdowns โ€” but know that rivals love turning it upside down.
