Tempe Mayor Mark Mitchell and Tucson Mayor Jonathan Rothschild have agreed to once again challenge each other to a Territorial Cup bet.
The Arizona State University Sun Devils and University of Arizona Wildcats battle it out this Saturday in Tempe. According to this annual wager, the mayor of the losing team in the rivalry must buy lunch in the winning Mayor’s city while wearing a jersey of the winning team. The challenge also compels the Mayor whose team lost to provide a six-pack of locally brewed beer to the winning mayor.
Mitchell plans to keep his winning streak.
“I am looking forward to the big game and seeing the Territorial Cup kept in its rightful place in Tempe,” Mitchell said. “And I’ll be happy to dine with Mayor Rothschild in a Sun Devils jersey.”
