ASU fan's prosthetic leg goes viral & 12 News learned the story behind it

Did you see the woman holding a prosthetic leg during ASU's win over Stanford? The story behind it has deep ties to ASU & Sun Devil Stadium

The leg belongs to 71-year-old Manuel Alcantar, a life-long ASU fan, who has been going to games with his family for 50 years and helped build parts of the stadium back in the day.

So Sunday morning, I went over to have breakfast with the Alcantar family, and talk some ASU football and that viral leg. Hear their story by watching the video at the top of this story.
