COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The Mountain West football game between the University of Nevada and San José State University currently remains on schedule for tomorrow (Saturday, November 17) at CEFCU Stadium in San Jose but, after consultation with both institutions, the start time is being moved forward two hours to Noon Pacific Time, the Conference office announced this morning.
Officials from the Mountain West, San José State and Nevada have been working together all week in monitoring air quality and considering various contingencies. Air quality readings vary greatly across the Bay Area and daytime figures have been more favorable in San Jose than in surrounding areas, falling within recommended NCAA guidelines. With health and safety as the ultimate priority, medical and athletic department officials from San José State and Nevada will evaluate the conditions prior to the scheduled start time and throughout the game. Working in close partnership with both institutions, the Mountain West will continue to actively monitor the situation and coordinate any further changes with the universities.
The entire Mountain West family offers its thoughts, prayers and support to all those throughout the state of California who have suffered unimaginable loss as a result of the wildfires.
The parking lots around CEFCU Stadium will open at 8:00 a.m.
Tickets are available through sjsuspartans.com/tickets.
ESPN3 will televise the game. Listeners can tune in to KLIV (1590 AM, San Jose) or www.kliv.com.
