Sonoran Hot Reads: Arizona Stadium in top third of FBS stadium experiences

Arizona game experiences are pretty good

In a recent stadium experience rankings list put out by Stadium Journey, Arizona Stadium and the Arizona Wildcats check in at No. 38 on the FBS stadium rankings list. This puts the Arizona Stadium experience in the top third of all of FBS, which is pretty good considering some of the stiff competition that's seen at the top of the list, and really throughout.  Where is Sun Devil Stadium pre-revonations? 67th
