Those superlatives only begin to describe the atmosphere at Sun Devil Stadium in the moments leading up to kickoff before ASU's September 26 showdown with USC. Zane Gonzalez teed the ball up, Lil John's "Turn Down for What" blared over the PA, and a full ASU student section rattled their car keys as Gonzalez booted the ball through the back of the end zone.
For student leaders and athletic department administrators, this is the scene that was envisioned when the idea of a "Double Inferno" was first presented last fall. About 13,000 fans, split in half so there is an equal amount of noise cascading down on the field at all times.
