No. 11 Arizona State kicked off its season Saturday night with a long anticipated duel against FCS Northern Arizona. Anticipation for this game had been building ever since last year ended in the Peach Bowl of the College Football Playoff.
That anticipation manifested itself in the Sun Devils literally overflowing with fans, as they surpassed their capacity at Mountain America Stadium.
ASU announces tonight's crowd as 56,759 tickets sold. Capacity at Mountain America Stadium is officially 53,599.

There's just one problem: nobody else can watch the game.
