Air Force will host Wyoming in a football game at Falcon Stadium on Saturday, October 18, with kickoff scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Stadium gates open two hours before the game, and the ticket office opens three hours prior. Fans are encouraged to arrive early. Those parking in lots 1-2 should use the South Gate, while those in lots 4-6 are asked to use the North Gate. Lot 3 attendees may enter through either gate.
To facilitate smoother entry for fans attending games at the U.S. Air Force Academy, installation access protocols have been updated. During specified hours on game day—Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.—U.S. citizens do not need a base pass or pre-registration but must carry government-issued identification if over 18 years old. Foreign nationals must still register with the Pass and Registration Office.

The entire Cadet Wing will attend all home football games during the 2025 season,” according to an announcement from Air Force Athletics.
