The money behind why CHSAA moved the state football championships to Canvas Stadium
Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 12:38:38 GMT
On Thursday in Fort Collins, CHSAA announced the state championship football games for Class 5A and 4A are moving from Empower Field to Canvas Stadium starting this year and that the Class 3A title will also move there in 2024.In an interview with The Denver Post, CHSAA commissioner Michael Krueger said moving the games to Fort Collins was “a financially responsible decision for our membership.”“As we looked at all the factors as our lease expired with Empower Field, it would be unrealistic for us to not consider the financial implications that the move would have on CHSAA,” Krueger said. “This move will have a substantial impact relative to the association’s financial considerations.”Krueger declined to talk financial specifics, but revenue numbers from the history of “Championship Saturday” at Mile High provided to The Denver Post by the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame indicates CHSAA’s earning potential off the games was li...Crews knock down residential structure fire in Westlake

It’s a tale of intrigue, improbable friendship and backroom deal-making that gets to the heart of where political power in the EU really lies.And it concerns one of the bloc’s most secretive — yet influential — bodies, and two of its leading members who have just been booted off it.You’ve probably not heard of the body, and you’ve almost certainly never heard of the pair of officials, yet a clearer example of power-behind-the-throne you’re unlikely to find. Backstage, the strings they pulled helped steer the bloc through choppy economic waters.The twin departures of the Italian and German senior treasury officials, Alessandro Rivera and Carsten Pillath, leave a gap at the center of EU decision-making at a time when governments are battling record inflation, facing a potential banking crisis, and bickering over how to change EU spending rules.Rivera and Pillath sat on the Economic and Financial Committee, and its smaller eurozone-only cousin, the Eurogroup Working Group.

As Milton gears up to defend its Div. 2 state title, Brendan Morrissey is seeing the same poise in his club he saw from a year ago.While the Wildcats graduated the likes of Charlie Walker, Brian Foley, and Shea Donovan, they are still the clear favorite in Div. 2 as the 2023 MIAA baseball season gets underway. Elon-bound junior left-hander Tommy Mitchell and two-way standout Owen MucHugh front the rotation while Jimmy Fallon and sophomore budding star Scott Longo spearhead the lineup.“I’ve been impressed with our mindset so far coming into the season. It’s really no different than last year,” Milton coach Brendan Morrissey said. “Our guys know they have the talent to get to where we want to get to, but they also have a lot of work to do to get there.”The Div. 2 state finalist from a year ago, King Philip, will be in contention to finish the job this time around.

SAN DIEGO -- Gas prices are on the move again as experts warn of the summer gas demand expected just around the corner.“The gas price average in San Diego is now $4.90 for a gallon of regular unleaded. That is 3 cents higher than a week ago, it’s 3 cents less than a month ago,” said Doug Shoupe from the Auto Club of Southern California. Price increases are happening just as the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), the conglomerate of oil producing nations, is cutting oil production, sending prices higher as well. California Lottery players win $1 million each from scratcher games “They are going to cut back on supply and so when supply is reduced there's not as much of it out there and that tends to drive up prices,” said Alan Gin from University of San Diego’s Knauss School of Business. While it sounds like prices are going to soar, signals in the economy are slowing and Gin says U.S. oil producers are pumping more oil than ever into the U.S. market. “...Why do Jerusalem tensions fuel regionwide unrest?

JERUSALEM (AP) — It’s become something of a grim, springtime tradition in the Holy Land. Israeli police fire tear gas and rubber bullets at Palestinians stockpiling rocks and fireworks inside one of the most bitterly disputed holy sites on Earth. The violence ripples across Israel and the occupied West Bank, and militants from as far away as Gaza and Lebanon respond with rockets.Similar tensions in 2021 boiled over into an 11-day Gaza war. Violence at the holy site in 2000 ignited a five-year Palestinian uprising and a fierce Israeli military crackdown across the occupied territories. One of the first major outbreaks of Jewish-Arab violence occurred in Jerusalem’s Old City in the spring of 1920, in what became known as the Nebi Musa riots.What is it about Jerusalem?
