It all began in 1892 and is the longest going rivalry west of the Mississippi river. Selling out seats every year the game is a piece of culture, it is what brings the community of Pueblo together because at the end of the day the game is for the young athletes who play it and and the community surrounded by it. Some will go as far to say that it means more than winning a state championship. For our group this means something else. By being able to create a Scalar we will be able to give newcomers to the rivalry information on the details of the game, why it is important, and what it means to people in the town. Our aim is to reinforce the meaning of community through friendly competition coming in the form of High School Football. Donated in 1950, many say that the first Bell Game actually took place. The long-standing Pueblo tradition that began in 1892 has an interesting history, beginning with a riot that broke out just 15 years after the rivalry was established. After the events of the 1907, the game between the two schools were then suspended for 14 years and resumed in 1921. When the Rivalry started heating up in the 1950s after the donation of the Bell, the annual Red vs. Blue football game became part of the DNA of Pueblo. According to The Denver Post, “it regularly draws more fans than the big-school state championship games at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.”
