Attending ASU's Spring Showcase? Here's What You Need to Know
It's been a long spring for Arizona State, as their final of 15 practices will put a bow on what has been a productive period for coaches and players over the past month.
For media, watching the Sun Devils battle and compete for playing time has been a treat. We've gained some insight into key competitions such as quarterback, and also have a few names underlined to truly keep an eye on at the beginning of next season.
Now, it's time for the fans to catch a small glimpse of their Sun Devils before the team departs until later this summer.

Premium tours are also available to Sun Devil fans by filling out this form.
"Throughout the game, Sun Devil Athletics will announce the winners of the Sun Devil Experience prizes."
From a sporting perspective, the majority of practice will be conducted at a "thud" tempo, and this is not an actual game. Some tackle series may take place at the end of practice with second and third stringers.
Fans will get the opportunity to have select players sign autographs following the practice. At the moment, those players are unknown.
The practice will be televised on the Pac-12 Network.
All Sun Devils looks forward to seeing Arizona State's best at Sun Devil Stadium tonight!
