Game day survival guide
ASU game days are chaos in the best way. Park at the Tempe Marketplace and take the free shuttle — saves you $30 in parking and 45 minutes of gridlock. Mill Ave bars start filling up by noon for evening games. The Chuckbox burgers are worth the wait if you get there early.
Tempe Town Lake early mornings
Best-kept secret: Tempe Town Lake at 5:30am is otherworldly. Mirror-flat water, zero crowds, and the sunrise over the Papago Buttes is free therapy. The kayak rental opens at 6am on weekends — first boats out get the best experience.
