Falcon Stadium in Colorado Springs is the only football stadium in the country where you can see someone jump out of a plane before each game. At the Air Force Academy, the Wings of Blue parachute team skydive into Falcon Stadium delivering the game ball.


With its scenic backdrop, a truly picturesque setting at the base of the Rampart Range of the Rocky Mountains, Falcon Stadium boasts some of the grandest pageantry in all of college football. It is without a doubt one of the premier college football stadiums in America, ranked by CBS Sports in 2011 as the 22nd best in college football, higher than any other Mountain West institution.


Sitting at 6,621 feet above sea level, the thin air has been kind to the Falcons. Built in a natural bowl in the foothills, the stadium’s elevation is the second highest of any Division I-A stadium in the nation. With a cozy capacity of 46,692, its game day experience is as best as it gets. 

On game day, our beloved Warriors are looking to reclaim the Kuter Trophy, named for the late General Laurence S. Kuter, the first head of the Pacific Air Forces Command in 1957. It was presented to the winner of the annual game from 1980-97 when both teams were members of the WAC. After nearly a decade without playing one another, the rivalry was once again renewed when UH joined the MW in 2012.


There’s more, a full day of sightseeing, beginning with the Pikes Peak Tour. This spectacular 14, 115-foot peak offers “a purple mountain’s majesty,” for it was of this magnificent mountain that Katherine Lee Bates wrote “America the Beautiful”. In the afternoon we’ll be touring the Gardens of the Gods with its magnificent red sandstone rock formations and then on to the United States Air Force Academy.


Accommodations in Colorado Springs are at the Hilton Garden Inn Colorado Springs Downtown. Opened less than one year, the hotel is walking distance to a variety of restaurants and entertainment venues. The Old Colorado City Historic District is a 10-minutes away. By the way, it’s the ideal time to visit, cooler temperatures and fall foliage. Expect to see the surrounding mountains speckled with bright reds, oranges and yellows.
