Arizona Athletics: Five Things Wildcat Fans Must Do
By David Rosen
No.4 – Explore the UA Mall
One of the great features of the University of Arizona campus is the UA Mall. Over the years it has gone through a transformation and in its present state, it offers many things to do. From visiting the USS Arizona Memorial to Old Main or just playing on the grassy fields it’s another must do as a Wildcat fan.
The USS Arizona Memorial is a dedication to those 1,177 who gave their life aboard the ship in Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Being a Wildcat is just not about supporting your team, but also remembering and honoring those who sacrificed their lives to give us the luxuries and freedoms we take for granted each day. So next time you have some free time, spend some time visiting this memorial.
Visiting the Old Main is another must do! It was the original University building that was constructed in 1891 and remains as one the most iconic elements on campus. Right in front of the building is a water fountain that a nice place to relax, take a picture or hang out with some friends.
On College Game Day’s, the beautiful scenery on the Mall changes to accommodate thousands of football hungry fans tailgating just before the Arizona Football team kicks-off! It’s a great experience and one of the better atmospheres in the Pac-12.
Arizona fans know how to party, and the UofA Mall is where that’s at!
