I'm not sure if this belongs in the basketball, football, or another forum, so I just figured I would post here.

I was watching a game last week where one of the announcers talked about how hard it is to travel to Laramie. I'm not sure which game that was now.

This got me to thinkin'. What is the distance from DIA to Front Range Schools?

DIA -> Fort Collins 70 Miles (1 h 7 min)
DIA -> Laramie 136 Miles ( 2 h 10 min)
DIA -> Colorado Springs 87 Miles (1 h 21 min)

I don't know if teams fly in to DIA and drive to AFA or Fort Collins or fly directly. I know some teams charter into Laramie.

This really makes me wonder what people are complaining about. Granted, I'd love to see Laramie work up some deals on game days to get some cheaper flights in.

Does anyone know how the other teams get to the Front Range Schools? How about USU?

UW charters out of Laramie for most part, but sometimes commercial out of Laramie and used to fly into Cheyenne as well. Sometimes away teams stay at Little America in Cheyenne as well, not sure what Oregon's gonna do, I am like you and wish teams would just announce what airport they fly into just for informational sake, but it can't be easy to get to Laramie, esp in winter(basketball, as most teams then come from Denver)

Last weekend Gardner web flew into Loveland. Oregon is coming into Cheyenne today and staying at LA.

Come October time frame through June driving to Laramie and flying into Laramie can be absolutely brutal. The road jumps to 8600 feet in-between Laramie and Cheyenne and can/will be completely different weather along the route. On my last day of classes before I graduated I left Laramie and it was in the 70s and beautiful and by the time I reached the summit headed to Cheyenne it was blizzarding and traffic was at a stand still.

To fly into Laramie is tough on a good day. In the winter the winds change and shift constantly and can make landing seem impossible. And thats with clear skies. When the usual snow storm rolls through its even worse.
