ASU's 'Camp Fargo' draws record crowd

Arizona State's football season has not lived up to expectations, but that hasn't dampened the students' spirit for the Territorial Cup.

ASU Associate Athletic Director Bill Kennedy confirmed Thursday night that Saturday's Arizona game has drawn the largest "Camp Fargo" with 364 campsites, beating last season's 250 sites ahead of the Notre Dame game.

It's official largest #CampFargo ever. 364 campsites. 3 x around WFA. Beats the 250 for ND last year.

Camp Fargo is the area around Wells Fargo Arena where students set up tents for ASU football games. The sites have an assigned order, and campers must remain in line until they close the camp for wristband distribution.

For big games, it's typical for Camp Fargo to wrap entirely around Wells Fargo Arena. Well, for the Territorial Cup, Camp Fargo has three complete wraparounds. Three.

Not bad.

It's one thing to camp for a top-10 matchup against Notre Dame, but to have this turnout for the Arizona game -- that says a lot about the rivalry.

With great weather, it was a lively scene Friday at Camp Fargo.

Athletic director Ray Anderson visited the camp.

Oh, to be in college again.
