CU-CSU series moving back to Invesco Field

Aug 31, 2009 - 7:53 PM DENVER (AP) -- The football rivalry between the University of Colorado and Colorado State University has been extended for a decade and will return to Denver starting next year.

The rivalry has gained national prominence since moving to Denver in 1998, although this year's game, the 81st in the series that began in 1893, is in Boulder on Sunday night.

CSU athletic director Paul Kowalczyk and Mike Bohn, his counterpart at CU, announced the 10-year extension of the series at Invesco Field on Monday.

As part of the agreement, next year's game will be moved from Fort Collins to Invesco Field, where both schools can generate more than $1 million in revenue. The series returns to Fort Collins in 2020.
