Air Force will host Army West Point on Saturday, Nov. 1 at Falcon Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 10 a.m. Mountain Time. The stadium gates will open two hours before the game begins, and the ticket office will be accessible three hours prior to kickoff. Early arrival is recommended for fans.
Parking instructions have been provided: those in lots 1-2 should use the South Gate, while those in lots 4-6 are directed to the North Gate. Lot 3 parking pass holders may enter through either gate.
To streamline entry for families and guests attending football games at the U.S. Air Force Academy, adjustments to installation entry protocols will be in effect from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. on game day. During these times, U.S. citizens do not need a base pass or pre-registration but must carry government-issued identification if over age 18. Foreign nationals are still required to register with the Pass and Registration Office for access.
