The Class 3A football championship game will be played at District 20 Stadium this Saturday.
The stadium, located on the campus of Liberty High School in Colorado Springs, is the home stadium for Discovery Canyon, the No. 1 overall seed in the 3A playoffs which is set to host Pueblo East for the title game.
To serve as a host site for the 3A championship game, a site must have a minimum seating capacity of 5,000, according the football bulletin. D-20 Stadium has a capacity just under 5,000, so in order to meet that minimum, Discovery Canyon will install an additional 1,500 seats in temporary bleachers.
The decision was arrived at early Monday evening after officials from CHSAA, Discovery Canyon and Academy District 20 spent much of the day talking through logistics of hosting.
Kickoff for the 3A title game is scheduled for 1 p.m. It will be broadcast by the NFHS Network.
