This game was probably a loser for CU as compared to having it at Folsom because of the poor attendance yesterday.
you brought a friend from Wisconsin but no potatoes... shame on youi brought a friend who is a big wisconsin fan to the game. i was embarrassed at the atmosphere. that was the most sterile, dead, uninspired football game i have ever been to.
I was at the lightning bolt game with my son and it was magical. I'll never forget it until Alzheimers kicks in. What was I saying? Oh, it was magical. I was there with my son.
JK. A combined 6-18 last year and the 12:00 start doomed this one. But if csu can become competitive and if CU becomes a national power again, Invesco will be a rocking place.
This just came to mind as well. Invesco. It even sucks for Bronco's games? WTF? The place was poorly designed. It is clinical. It has no atmosphere. I think the designers and the City of Denver and Pat Bowlen get a huge FAIL for Invesco. Does that company/fund even exist anymore?

Call me a traditionalist and I know it was falling apart, but there was nothing like the old Mile High. Not that this game should be played anywhere in Denver, but the old barn had character and history.
It looked pretty dead on TV, especially in the 2nd half. Not only that, someone (maybe Leash?) pointed out that while leaving the game you couldn't even tell who had won. That right there pretty much kills the argument that this is a rivalry and deserves the right to be played at a neutral site.

it was too damn hot to even muster the energy to talk smack. 45 thousand zombies left the stadium after the game.

The more I think about it, the more I think we're stuck with the game in Denver for a long time. Regardless of the fact that we're contractually obligated to play there until 2016 (I think), the simple fact of the matter is that while the game is in Denver, it can be added to the season ticket package and sold as a seventh home game. That's a lot of money the AD isn't just going to give up. The only way to kill the game would be to simply stop going, and I'm not there yet. As much as I have grown weary of the game in Denver, I'll continue to go. I think our best option right now is to complain loudly to Bohn about the conditions we're subjected to while at the game in Denver. Will it do any good? Hell if I know. But I think he does care.
The #1 problem with the RMS is that it's schizoid.
The media story is always about families torn apart in some CSU-CU rivalry. The fans buy into the media generated smack talk by buying tickets for a brawl. Then the DPD shows up with tear gas and hand cuffs, hauling out dozens of fans for drunken and disorderly conduct, or MIP.
Then the CU and CSU administrations and DPD chastise the students and fans about the need for sportsmenlike behavior. Duh! We've been told this is a feud. What did you expect?
Instead of seeing empty seats, both universities and the promoters ought to consider their marketing.
Make that game fan friendly and family friendly. Each and every one of those empty seats could have been filled with some high school kid or younger, as some sort of "get to know your state colleges."
Parents and students need to be stimulated with an incentive to come to the game.
The media angle and the police warnings do NOT accomplish that goal.
This game was at its zenith with Brad VP for the Rams led by Buff Hater Sonny.
The game time was picked in order to Kill tailgating.
