COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO — Almost every hotel room along the northern corridor of Colorado Springs is occupied during an Air Force football home weekend.
If you’re looking for a room whenever Air Force hosts service academy rivals Army and Navy, you better book many months in advance. And expect to pay more than $200 per night because of high demand.
Not this year. The Drury Inn, a popular spot with Air Force fans for years, had vacancies for both Friday and Saturday despite the fact Navy is in town.
A rivalry that normally draws a sellout crowd of 43,000-plus to Falcon Stadium will be played in front of the Cadet Wing only on Saturday afternoon.
