Here is what I wrote in the schedule section about Boise State at Wyoming:

Kickoff Time: 1:30pm MT

Stadium: Jonah Field at War Memorial Stadium (Laramie, WY)

Elevation of Stadium: 7,220 feet

Elevation Change for Boise State: increase by approximately 4,525 feet

Travel Distance for Boise State: insignificant

Time Change for Boise State: none

Field Surface: artificial

Forecasted Field Condition Before Game: high probability of rain/sleet/snow

Forecasted Field Condition During Game: same as before game

Forecasted Temperature During Game: cold

Forecasted Wind During Game: high wind

Stadium Noise: high

Commentary: This is the most exciting game on the Mountain West Conference schedule. This game is one of the most important games in the history of the Wyoming football team, which will have an opportunity to prove whether it belongs in the first tier of the Mountain West Conference and among the best teams in the nation. Although Boise State is accustomed to playing at an elevation of approximately 2,695 feet, such elevation is significantly different than Jonah Field at War Memorial Stadium’s sky high elevation of 7,220 feet. Symptoms from acute mountain sickness typically begin at an elevation of 8,000 feet. Such symptoms include dizziness, fatigue, and shortness of breath.
