While we know that fans of Arizona Athletics come from all across the globe, we also know that the legions of fans we have in and around Tucson – in the 520 area code - are special to us. They support us and are there for us across the board.
 
As a small way of showing our appreciation for that support from the community, we took to social media on May 20 (5/20) to say thank you using the hashtag #520Day to highlight what makes Tucson and the surrounding area so special. Below are a few highlights from Twitter and Instagram from various accounts from Arizona Athletics and the community.

"One of the many things I loved about growing up in Tucson was being in the desert. Whether I was riding my bike or hunting for reptiles, there was something magical about the desert, especially the way it lit up and smelled after a rain. I'll never forget that." - Sean Elliott, Men's Basketball #520day
