They did while people were trying to get to the Avs game at the Academy.

So that fiasco wasn't weather related?

Nope. "Emergency Pothole Repair".

CBS4: Frustration Left After Traffic From Avalanche Stadium Series: ‘Just A Huge Bummer’

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., (CBS4) – Painfully slow traffic tested the patience and sanity of many hockey fans traveling to attend the Colorado Avalanche’s outdoor game at Air Force Academy’s Falcon Stadium Saturday night. For hours leading up to the game, North Gate Boulevard was a several-mile long sea of red tail lights. The traffic also overflowed on to north and southbound I-25.

“I feel like they should have had some type of plan,” said Michelle Bregman, who was attending the game with her husband, Ryan.

The Bregmans were among the many fans stuck in standstill traffic about an hour before puck drop. Eventually, the two decided to park their car near the parking lot of a 7/11 and join the crowds making the 3 miles walk to Falcon Stadium.

Many of the fans conceded the fact that, walk or drive, they’d be missing part of the much-anticipated game.

“I’m not really sure what they could have done to anticipate this, but at this point it’s just a huge bummer to be missing a good chunk of the game,” Bregman said.

“Sure it’s frustrating, but I can’t complain. it’s not like it’s a big surprise,” said Adam Myers, who planned to attend the game with his son.

Overall, traffic on and off the interstate was painfully slow throughout afternoon, with major slowdowns between Castle Rock and Monument, due to emergency lane closures by CDOT.

Many fans told CBS4 their trips from Denver took between two and four hours.

Patrick Deans, who came to town from Lexington, Kentucky to see the game, tells CBS4 he watched the first two periods on his phone while stuck in traffic, despite leaving Castle Rock four hours before the start of the game.

“We could see the ice, we could see everything, so it was just kind of painful knowing you’re that close and you can’t just get through traffic,” Deans said. “We sat in traffic for about three hours.”

Drivers also experienced heavy traffic in the 18-mile South Gap Project on I-25 between Castle Rock and Monument. On Saturday afternoon, CDOT announced its crews would be closing lanes in the area for emergency pothole repairs.

On Sunday, a spokesperson for CDOT told CBS4 the closures were necessary because of significant potholes that could have caused a crash that would have closed the interstate for hours.

He was down here today, and stuff went well. Wish I could have gone, but if you have the chance to support him up there, please do so.
There was a cool thing that happened with a WWII vet at the event today, very cool and certainly appropriate.
