CSU ticket sales up
Colorado State reported ticket sales for the Rocky Mountain Showdown as 28,240 as of Wednesday morning, showing a fourth straight year of increased sales for the rivalry game with Colorado.
Of that number, 10,800 were student-ticket sales. Because it is considered CSU's home game, the number also includes 9,058 season tickets.
"I think that's awesome," CSU coach Mike Bobo said after Wednesday's practice. "I think there's interest in the game, I love that both sides are excited about the game. I've heard we've sold almost 11,000 student tickets, and that's been a big push from our administration and (athletic director) Joe Parker and even us as a football team to try to get out and try to get involved with our students and let them know it's their football team.
