 Falcon
Stadium
Colorado Springs, CO
Falcon Stadium, home to some
of the finest individuals in this country, with their dedication to
the Air Force, has been the location of Falcon football for over four
decades. In the early 1960s, discussion began on the possibility of
building a stadium for the football program. That discussion became a
reality when funds from Air Force personnel and fans was raised and
the stadium was built.

Opening in 1962, the stadium had a cost of $3.5
million. Named after the team, Falcon Stadium has a seating capacity
of just over 52,000. On September 22, 1962 the Falcons beat Colorado
Springs in the inaugural first game at the stadium. The lower grandstand encloses the playing field
while the second and third decks are located on one side of the
stadium. The main scoreboard sits above the stands in the endzone.
Falcon Stadium has changed very little over the years, but has hosted
many quality football games. Lighting was added in 2002 and a new
videoboard in 2004. |
