UA Athletics Road Tour Moves Tempe Location After Complaints

TUCSON, AZ – It seemed like a good idea. The University of Arizona Wildcats are on their annual Arizona Athletics Road Tour – a trip around the state meeting and greeting fans – and they figured they'd make a stop at Tempe.
On Monday, they announced that stop would be at the Pedal Haus Brewery, a popular hangout.
The only problem is that it's less than one mile from the ASU campus.
