TUCSON, IT’S TIME TO PACK THE HOUSE! 🐻⬇️

The Arizona Wildcats are off to a 5-1 start, their best since 2014, the same season they captured the Pac-12 South Championship and earned a trip to the Fiesta Bowl.

For decades, Arizona football has given Tucson unforgettable moments. From a packed stadium against USC in 2008 to nearly 58,000 fans rocking the stands against Oregon in 2009. And who could forget 2014, when 56,083 fans watched the Wildcats defeat Arizona State 42-35 to clinch the Pac-12 South Championship?!

When Casino Del Sol Stadium is packed, the noise is deafening, the atmosphere is electric, and Tucson becomes one of the toughest places for visiting teams to play.

It’s time to bring that energy back!

On October 24, Arizona plays Iowa State for Homecoming and a RED OUT. With the Wildcats off to their best start in over a decade, it’s the perfect opportunity for students, alumni, and fans across Southern Arizona to come together and create another unforgettable atmosphere.

LET’S SELL OUT HOMECOMING. LET’S BRING THE NOISE!

BEAR DOWN, ARIZONA! 🌵🏈

🚗 IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM THE TUCSON AUTO MUSEUM 🚗

Please plan your visit accordingly! The Tucson Auto Museum will be temporarily closed Sunday, October 18 through Saturday, October 24. We will reopen Sunday, October 25 with our regular museum hours.

And if TAM has been on your “someday” list, now is the time to visit. 💚

The Tucson Auto Museum will PERMANENTLY CLOSE its doors on January 1, 2027. That means there are only a few months left to experience this remarkable collection before it is gone.

Come explore 85 rare and beautiful automobiles, including classics, exotics, Hollywood vehicles, and fascinating pieces of automotive history—all under one roof. Whether this will be your first visit or your final trip down memory lane with us, we would love to welcome you before the museum closes.

Don’t miss your chance to experience this once-in-a-lifetime collection! 🚘✨
