The Territorial Cup stays in Tempe after the Arizona State Sun Devils beat the University of Arizona Wildcats this weekend at the Sun Devils stadium. For many ASU football fans, it was a sweet victory, with an exhilarating final score of 58 to 21. The entire ASU campus and surrounding Tempe area was buzzing with excitement, and bars were jam packed with fans from both sides on Mill Avenue and around ASU. Bars and restaurants try hard to prevent underagers from buying alcohol but where there’s and will there’s a way. Many students at ASU are under 21 and like to take part in the party atmosphere of college, especially during highly anticipated football games. Police were out in full force on Saturday looking out for disruptive behavior and underage drinking. Tempe police and campus police have no qualms about asking for IDs and asking questions, ultimately discovering you are not 21.
