Are you ready for some football, Colorado Springs?! 🏈

What an exciting day for our city! Southern Colorado finally has a professional football team to call our own — the Colorado Stampede! @UFLStampede

This is a big win for our local economy, our downtown, and our entire region. But what excites me most is seeing our community rally around a team of our own.

Mark your calendars for April 11 at @WeidnerField . Let's fill those stands and show the @TheUFL
what the @CityofCOS is all about!
