On Sunday, September 1, The University of Colorado Buffaloes battle the Colorado State Rams at Sports Authority Field at Mile High in a hotly contested Centennial State rivalry, The Rocky Mountain Showdown.
Recently, Gallup selected Boulder (home to the Buffs) as the happiest city in America; but Money magazine selected Fort Collins (home to the Rams) as the best place to live in America a few years ago. One thing’s for sure: By the end of the 4th quarter, one city is going to be much happier than the other!
But you don't have to be alumnus of either school to enjoy the excitement of college football right in downtown Denver. The Showdown is just one part of what will be another amazing Labor Day Weekend in Denver, featuring free festivals, can't-miss museum exhibits and more.
Plan a late summer getaway and take advantage of some great hotel deals in The Mile High City, with rates starting as low as $52.80.
