About the Team or Event
It was the summer of 1946 when someone uttered those words for the first time. But who? That's a question that has haunted Arizona State University historians for years. The nickname "Sun Devils" is the third in the school's 108-year history. When the second Tempe Normal football team opened play in 1889, the student body chose "Owls" for its moniker. And when Tempe Normal became Arizona State Teachers College, "Owls" became "Bulldogs."
The State Press, the student newspaper, ran frequent appeals during the fall of 1946, urging the Bulldog to be replaced by the new Sun Devil. And on November 8, 1946, the student body voted 819 to 196 to make the change. On November 20, says The Arizona Republic, the student council made it official. The following day, the first Arizona State team played as the Sun Devils.
The basketball team, coached by Rudy Lavik and manned by Ed Long, Ralph Bassett, Bob Chastain, Carl Heath and Barry Arney, defeated the Mesa Jaycees, 42-38, at the Mesa High School gymnasium and launched the Sun Devil in victory.
The late Bert Anthony, an artist for Walt Disney, creator of the defunct Stanford Indian symbol, designed the current Sun Devil imp, "Sparky."
About the Stadium
Wells Fargo Arena, the home for Sun Devil men's and women's basketball as well as volleyball, gymnastics and wrestling, is one of the nation's finest collegiate arenas. Constructed in the spring of 1974 at the cost of $8 million, the 14,198-seat facility also plays host to graduation ceremonies and a variety of concerts and shows.
The structure is 400 feet long, 340 feet wide and six stories high. The structure contains offices and locker rooms for ASU basketball, along with space for weight training, a training room and an equipment room.
A recent addition to Wells Fargo Arena was a multimillion-dollar center-court hung video scoreboard. The scoreboard offers the best in modern technology and gives ASU one of the best scoreboards in college athletics. The video scoreboard comes complete with four - eight foot by 12 foot visual display screens. In additions to the scoreboard, two White Way matrix scoreboards with up to the minute game statistics were installed on the east and west side arena walls.
Wells Fargo Arena is a major reason why Arizona State's athletic physical plant is considered to be the best in collegiate athletics today.
