College football will return to the Denver Broncos’ stadium in 2023.
Empower Field at Mile High will host the Air Force-Navy game on Nov. 4 next year, the team announced Sunday.
“We are looking forward to partnering with the Denver Broncos to host the Air Force vs. Army game next season,” Air Force director of athletics Nathan Pine said in a statement. “Construction on our east side renovation project will not allow us to showcase the service academy rivalry game in Falcon Stadium the way we want to.
“While the end result at Falcon Stadium will be well worth it, hosting the game at Empower Field in 2023 and working closely with the Broncos staff will create a memorable experience for our players and our fans and will keep the important advantage of playing this game in Colorado.”
Tickets to the game will go on sale in February.
This year’s game between the Falcons and Black Knights will be played at Globe Life Field, home of MLB’s Texas Rangers. The Air Force leads the all-time series against the Army 33-16-1 since 1959.
Earlier this month, the Broncos hosted the University of Colorado and Texas A&M University on Sept. 11. The Aggies defeated the Buffaloes 10-7.
Empower Field at Mile High has hosted 18 Division I college football games since the stadium opened in 2001.
