Strike 1: The fanatical exuberance for the start of football practice for a team that hasn’t been any good for almost a decade remains a head scratcher.

That’s because three grants, one of them from 65 years ago, were used to buy land for the airport, and that triggers a clause that requires the airport to be operated in perpetuity unless the FAA agrees to release Boulder from those obligations.
