But this year, we’re coming into the Showdown with heads held high as the reigning champions. Not only that, but our knights of green and gold are walking into Mile High Stadium with over 17,000 fans at their back, according to the last reported numbers.

We hold the Centennial Cup. We own Folsom Field. We own Mile High. We are the better team coming to this game.

Regardless of the game’s outcome, the Rocky Mountain Showdown is a must-see event. It is something that is best experienced in the stands, and everyone should have attending a Showdown, live, as part of their CSU bucket-list.

Let’s go Rams!
