Falcon Stadium, Football stadium in El Paso County, United States
The stadium sits at an elevation of 6,621 feet, making it the second-highest football venue in college athletics after Wyoming's War Memorial Stadium.
Architect Emil Praeger completed the construction of Falcon Stadium in 1962, funded through contributions from Air Force personnel and civilian donors totaling 3.5 million dollars.
The stadium hosts graduation ceremonies for Air Force Academy cadets each spring, marking their transition from students to military officers through formal traditions.
The facility includes parking space for 11,400 vehicles and 250 buses, with a rail siding nearby for special event transportation services.
In February 2020, the stadium transformed into an ice hockey venue for the NHL Stadium Series game between Colorado Avalanche and Los Angeles Kings.
