COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—Colorado State's Homecoming football game against Nevada on Oct. 14 will kick off at 8:15 p.m. MT and be televised on ESPN2, it was announced Monday by ESPN and the Mountain West.
The Rams' third home game of the 2017 season will be the first night game at the new on-campus stadium. All seats have been sold for the game, but students may still claim their tickets through the online claim portal and a limited number of standing-room-only tickets may be purchased by calling the Rams Sales Team at 800-491-RAMS.
"We are excited to play the first night game in our new stadium and show a national TV audience the passion, energy and pride of our fans," said head coach Mike Bobo. "We have already seen in our first two home games the powerful effect our students have in creating a home-field advantage for us, and we look forward to seeing Ram Ruckus in full force for Homecoming."
The Rams are 2-0 at home in the new stadium this season, with wins over Oregon State and Abilene Christian, and have been victorious in front of their home fans in 18 of the last 22 home games, a stretch that includes the last 20 home games at Hughes Stadium and the first two in the on-campus stadium.
A number of events are planned for the annual Homecoming and Family Weekend, beginning with the Distinguished Alumni Awards Dinner on Thursday, Oct. 12. A full schedule of events presented by the Colorado State University Alumni Association can be found here.
