ASU football fans can now use a water taxi to get to Mountain America Stadium on game day. Boat Rentals of America recently partnered with the Hundred Mile Brewing Company to launch the new ride program.
The service operates during ASU home games and helps alleviate the struggles associated with parking. The boat rides begin at the north Town Lake Marina and travel through Tempe Town Lake. On the other side, fans can exit the taxi and walk to the football stadium.
“I really just want people to have a great time on the water and it's just a cool way to get over there. It's much better than having to drive over there in traffic and doing all that stuff," said Brooke Thul, a manager with Boat Rentals of America.
Thul suggests people park at the Watermark structure off North Scottsdale Road before boarding the water taxi.
“I love my Devils, and I just look forward to seeing them have a winning season, and this is all just part of game day to just make it a little bit extra special," said Hundred Mile Brewing Company owner Sue Rigler, who is also an ASU alum.
A roundtrip ride costs $15, while a one-way trip is available for $10.
Riders can register online at boats4rent.com or in person by scanning a QR code.
