The Victory Bell, found just outside the southeast entrance to Sun Devil Stadium, was a gift to ASU students from Judge Ross F. Jones in the late 1960s. Ringing the bell calls students and fans to the stadium before each football game. After victories, the number of rings equals the number of points scored by the Sun Devils. The historic bell weighs more than 2000 pounds and is believed to have come from Michigan on one of the freight shipments to Winslow via the Santa Fe Railway around 1879.
