Arizona State football fans are encouraged to wear maroon for the “Maroon Monsoon” game as the Sun Devils host Texas State at 7:30 p.m. MST on Saturday, Sept. 13, at Mountain America Stadium in Tempe.
It is the final nonconference game before the start of the Big 12 schedule and an opportunity to rebound from last weekend’s disappointing loss at Mississippi State.
Arizona State will pay Texas State $350,000 to play in the game, according to a 2015 contract obtained by The Arizona Republic through a public records request.
Texas State also received 350 complimentary tickets and had the option of buying up to 5,000 tickets at face value.
The document was signed by then-ASU athletic director Ray Anderson and then-Texas State AD Larry Teis.
ASU (1-1) is favored by 17.5 points, per BetMGM as of Sept. 11, but faces one of the highest-scoring teams in the nation.
Texas State (2-0) averages 47.5 points per contest and Bobcats wide receiver Beau Sparks leads Division I football with five receiving touchdowns.
Nobody else has more than three.
The game will be televised by TNT, streamed by HBO Max and broadcast on ESPN 620 and Sirius XM 83.
Texas State paid Arizona State an equal amount to play in the first game of a home-and-home series last season, when the Sun Devils narrowly defeated the Bobcats, 31-28, on a late field goal in San Marcos, Texas.
ASU rallied from a 14-point first half deficit.
