Football season is just around the corner, in fact, let the countdown begin. Fall Camp is in 37 days. It is not too early to start planning your trips. We have a home game first with Washington on September 4. We are trying to put together a tailgater for our families. There are many different governing bodies so keep your fingers crossed. We are making some progress but still have more work to do to get us a spot. After Washington, we are off to Air Force and Florida State. I have gathered some information on those locations. I don’t claim to be the travel know-it-all so please let me know any information or recommendations that you would like to share. We are in this together.

Air Force/Colorado Springs: My Brother lives there so these are some of his recommendations. (I don’t always listen to my brother so you don’t have to either. ) Remember-These are just ideas. You can check out their website: http://www.goairforcefalcons.com/index-main.html
