Rocky Mountain football rivalry up in the air
BOULDER — A key official says the
future of the Colorado-Colorado State football game in Denver is in question
because the two rivals haven't reached a financial agreement with the
company that operates the Invesco Field at Mile High.
Colorado State athletic director Mark
Driscoll said he and Colorado athletic director Mike Bohn want a better deal
with Stadium Management Corp., the company that runs Invesco Field.
The $450,000 cost for using Invesco
Field is excessive, Driscoll said. The schools split the cost.
There is a chance the 2006 game could
be played in Fort Collins at 34,400-seat Hughes stadium, Driscoll said. CSU
is the host school that year, though the teams have recently played at
76,000-seat Invesco Field.
This year's game is Sept. 3 in Boulder.
Bohn declined comment about the
negotiations with stadium officials and Colorado State.
Driscoll said both schools would like
to play the game in Denver every year now that the NCAA has approved a
permanent 12-game regular season schedule. But he said a better deal is
needed.
``The stadium authority has to work
something out in how much they're going to charge us,'' Driscoll said.
Meanwhile, Bohn and Air Force athletics
director Hans Mueh are discussing the possibility of reviving their schools'
football rivalry, perhaps as early as 2008.
CU owned a 12-4 advantage in the series
when it was dropped in 1974. Mueh said the decision came amid discontent
during the Vietnam War era that spilled onto the field.
``It manifested itself into some pretty
ugly games,'' he said. He said he and Bohn have ``talked at length'' about
resuming the series.
``It's the right thing for the state,''
he said.
Air Force would have to adjust its 2008
schedule if CU is added. The Falcons are scheduled to play Wake Forest,
Texas A&M, Army and Navy in addition to its Mountain West Conference
schedule.
