On January 14, President Crow announced plans for a three-year, $210 million renovation to the 55-year-old Sun Devil Stadium making it the school's largest financial undertaking since its founding in 1885. The project will be not be funded by student tuition but instead through private donors, bonds, and other stadium rights including a broadcast deal with the PAC-12. Additional revenue coming from concessions, sponsorships and public events leaves Treasury Vice President and CFO Morgan Olsen optimistic that the massive facelift will help take Sun Devil Athletics out of its $10 million annual debt. ASU already spends approximately $1 million on stadium upkeep. To make events enjoyable for all guests, and as per the Americans With Disabilities Act, $120 million will be focused on repairing structural issues to make Sun Devil Stadium more accessible to those with disabilities.

The largest mural in Tempe is now being created by muralist and local artist, Aztec Smurf. Smurf is painting a giant Gila Monster, a lizard native to the valley, across a 50 x 55 ft. wall of The Mark, an apartment complex on the corner of Lemon St. and Terrace Rd. As a local who grew up in Tempe and attended ASU before becoming a full-time artist, Smurf was thrilled to be selected out of many other artists to work on the project. The entire mural is being painted with regular paint and paintbrushes, and will be covered with a clear coat to be better protected from the sun. The apartment complex was recently acquired by Sundance Bay, a Utah based company. This mural is the first of many improvements promised at The Mark.
