What Should We Call The Big Closure Of I-25 For The Debate?

Written by Traffic Specialist Joel Hillan

We asked on the air a few days ago what we should call this big closure of Interstate 25 in the heat of rush hour for the presidential debate at the University of Denver and you responded!

Here is a look at the top responses, shared with CBS4 through Facebook and Twitter:

  • Jamapalooza
  • Jamageddon
  • Debatapalooza
  • Mile High Detour
  • Rocky Mountain Roadblock
  • Debatageddon
  • Jamnation
  • The Debate Gate
  • Trafficzilla
  • Debateinator

I felt like we should use a name to call the whole thing like "Debateageddon" and then call the closure of I-25 "The Rocky Mountain Roadblock."  We learned that DU could be considered again for a debate in the future, so we could see a return of all of this.
