Students in line at the CSU ticket office at the Fum McGraw Center Tuesday
FORT COLLINS — Colorado State reports that as of this morning, it had sold 22,000 tickets for Friday night’s Rocky Mountain Showdown against Colorado at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
It’s technically a CU home game.
In retrospect, regardless of the attendance, it was unfortunate that the game was moved to Friday night for television purposes. (It’s being shown on the new Fox Sports 1…where available.)
That’s a prime high school football night, opening night for most schools, and it’s ridiculous that many folks who might have attended the game will be committed to attending high school games; or, conversely, attendance at high school games might be affected by the Shootout.
