Thousands of students are preparing to attend the Rocky Mountain Showdown where Colorado State University takes on the University of Colorado on Saturday afternoon.
As many students live in Fort Collins, others live in areas including Boulder and Denver and might not have easy access to Fort Collins. CBS Colorado’s First Alert Traffic Tracker Reporter Brian Sherrod did some research and has you covered on ways you can get there.
Sherrod met up with CSU’s Transit Center and provided these details. If you live in Fort Collins, you have the following options:
Active transportation options to the game:
- On-campus students or those who live nearby – walking is a great way to get to the game. Our campus is set up to be conducive to walking with underpasses to get onto campus and dedicated pathways for people to use once they get to campus.
- Biking, Scooting – traveling by bike or scooter can be an efficient way to get to campus. Once on campus people can travel using the dedicated bike infrastructure and park at any of the 18,000+ bike parking spaces available. Scooters should also be parked at the bike racks. We recommend using a sturdy lock like a U lock for locking bikes and scooters. Note that bikes and scooters cannot be parked right next to the stadium, but can use any of the nearby racks in surrounding areas.
- SPIN – Spin is the shared micromobility service in Fort Collins. Users download the Spin app and pay a $1 unlock fee and a per-minute rate to rent the e-bikes or e-scooters. The per-minute rate is $.40 for trips started off campus and $.30 for trips started on campus. All Spin devices should be parked at bike racks on campus.
