Folsom Field

I’ve now enjoyed games at Folsom Field twice. The field is on the outskirts of campus and easy enough to access and park around. It is overlooking the Flatiron mountains, which makes for a majestic setting, Folsom Field has beauty that only nature can provide.
There are several concessions to choose from and a trailer full of CU gear parks in front during each game, so the stadium amenities are on par with other places. They also have beer, which is something I can’t get at my home stadium, BONUS!
The stadium is large relative to the average Pac 12 venues, but it feels quaint, it reminds me of the Rose Bowl, be even more intimate, no bad seats.
If you ever have the opportunity to see a game here, you should do it. It’s a good stadium to tick off your list, don’t miss a chance to see Ralphie the buffalo run around the stadium.
We found the CU fans to be friendly and not too unruly, thanks for a good time Colorado.

Have only been to the stadium during the Bolder Boulder and have always been impressed at the organization of the entire massive event. It is amazing to see how well timed they have everything. This year they had a little delay but overall a very safe and efficient event.
The only thing I would say, is that they need to remodel the restrooms. Those facilities are very old and could use a face lift. Takes away from the amazing iconic structure of the stadium.

As a visitor coming into Folsom Field, I was really excited about the stadium. I had seen pictures of it, heard about Ralphie, and was ready for a classic college football experience. The stadium is currently undergoing renovations, and there’s a lot of construction going on. The stadium seems a bit run-​down overall. The bleachers are all broken and wobbly. With the newer and older sections it has the appearance of being pieced together. It was about ¾ full so we decided to move over to our fans’ section because, unbeknownst to us, we had bought tickets in the section adjacent to the student section. Everybody was standing up and giving us a hard time for being fans of the visiting team, so we took advantage of the empty seats near our fans. After we sat down, a few ushers came to talk to some of the visiting fans in our section (the visiting fans’ section). They told the fans they needed to sit down, along with the 20 or so other fans standing up in the visiting section. This seemed a little silly considering we had moved from across the stadium because CU fans were standing up in front of us. I guess if you aren’t wearing black and gold, the staff is going to give you a hard time at Folsom Field.

Stink. Stank. Stunk. Not just the team, but everything. Tickets are over-​priced for what you get. The one thing that would have made this venue somewhat enjoyable would have been if we’d been able to sip a beer while watching, but some idiots outlawed that now, too. You have to go outside the stadium to a beer garden if you want a weak-​ass beer. Lame. I’d say the only people who may get some value out of going to a Buff’s game at Folsom Field are CU students, parents of students, and prohibitionist football fanatics. Anyone else, you’re wasting your time and money.

Folsom Field, home of the Buffaloes!
My wife and I made a trip west from Nashville a few years ago to see Georgia play at Colorado. We had a great time touring Boulder as well as Denver. That is such a beautiful part of the country!
The Colorado fans were a little uneasy with the behavior of the Georgia fans. While many in Boulder go hiking and enjoy other activities before the game, fans in the south tailgate. This may have been their first introduction to someone setting up a generator and tv to watch College Game Day while eating breakfast! The Georgia fans were all over the campus and they started tailgating early.
I had fun interacting with the fans. They have a good time and some very cool traditions. I particularly enjoyed watching their band enter through the field house. The running of their mascot is amazing. It’s hard to believe that no one has been killed trying to corral him into his trailer. It’s a neat sight though!
The best part of the stadium is the location. The view is absolutely beautiful as it sits right against the mountains. If you find yourself in Boulder during the fall, check this place out. It’s incredibly unique.

The banquet hall on the President’s level is spacious and the view is incredible! You can see the Flatirons and the field! I want to mention how good the food was for an event that catered to over 300 guests. It was light and fresh. Much more then I ever expected.

The best place to watch a football game in the US! Overlooking the stunning Flatiron mountains, Folsom Field has beauty that won’t rival anything man-​made.
It is hard not to get swept up in the location of this stadium to be honest.
There are several concessions to choose from and a trailer full of CU gear parks in front during each game.
The stadium is large but it feels quaint and there really isnt a bad seat in the house.
Be warned that the South end of the stadium is the student section and CU has some rowdy fans! Sitting in the student section is beyond entertaining but maybe not the best place to sit if you actually want to watch the game. Season ticket holders sit on the West side of the stadium, near the opposing team side.
If you ever have the opportunity to see a game here, even if you don’t care about the teams — GO!

If you judge a stadium by how good the football team is, then Folsom Field will not be the place for you.
The Buffaloes just finished their season 1 – 11. It was a long, sad fall. My husband and I kept going to the games, even when there was pretty much no chance of us winning. We have each been season ticket holders for 9 years now and we love this place.
You can catch an amazing sunset. You get to see Ralphie run around the field twice per game. You can stand shoulder to shoulder with your friends and fellow alum to watch the Buffs mostly lose.
It’s a nice stadium and a great place to spend your Saturday, it would be five star worthy if our football team could get its act together.

Came here as an away fan of course. It is a quaint, smaller stadium with no really bad seat. The home fans are really nice and they even had a sign in the visiting section welcoming us. The concessions are well priced and there is an indoorish area with large bathrooms. This is nice as it can get cold in Boulder.
Depending on where you park, you have to walk up a slight hill to get to the stadium but it is a nice walk. The scenery is beautiful and this is a great place to take in a game.

I am very biased but this is the greatest place on the planet.

No Beer = negative 2 stars.
Let’s just say that I was less than impressed with Folsom Field. I do like two things: it’s pretty and there is a Pass Out gate (east side) so that you can leave at half time, chug some beers and then re-​enter.
However, the goodness stops there. Not only is this stadium windy but it feels way to old and outdated for the campus. If you are unlucky enough to be on the north side you will have a terrible view even though entering and exiting is a breeze.
It has typical food items which bores me to tears cuz it’s so typical. And… no beer. Granted, I am a spoiled CSU Ram who has grown accustomed to having a brew at my sporting events… but it’s just painful to watch a game at this stadium.
Even still, I can muster up 2 stars for the minimal positive aspects and the need to be honest. Eons ago I attended a concert there and I enjoyed myself. But as with the football games parking was a nightmare.
Prolly won’t be back… ever.

Its a bit old, but it gets the job done. I like walking to work and seeing it on Campus!

One must appreciate the history of this field and its traditions.
I love that the student section, which is a free-​for-​all, goes all the way to mid-​field – so if you’re willing to stand those are some of the best seats. The energy in the student section is also most invigorating. I’m a big fan of the school fight song and cheers
Can we PLEASE get a new sound system? The current one is really just embarrassing at this point.
Go Buffs

This is a solid, albeit dated stadium. They try to make it more upscale in the Field House with a variety of food vendors, including StrEAT Chefs and the little homemade donuts. Okay, the latter isn’t upscale, but a nice treat.
I have been a season ticket holder for several years and really enjoy the overall experience and my ability to see the band and cheer squad with my kids in the Field House before the game and Ralphie down on the field. They do a good job of allowing more access than a typical stadium.
If you sit in the East side in the 100 sections North of the 50, you have to deal with the student section, which stands the entire game.
Parking is okay, if you don’t mind walking. You can pay to park a little closer, but the closest parking is season. While nice to get there, leaving can be challenging.
A nice place for game day in an exciting college environment.

I had never been to event at Folsom Field until this past Saturday for the game. The stadium is okay, but I’ve definitely been to better college stadiums. I was also a tad bit annoyed that the concessions appeared to be more costly than most of the professional sporting events in Denver. I certainly hope some of the profits go to help CU.

Worst place in all the world to watch a sporting event. I wish the big 12 could swap the mountain west colorado for colorado st. I will have to mark not a good atmosphere for children as I have never seen such poor unsportsman like conduct from a bunch of fans before. 120 years and you feel no tradition here. Whats up with that.
— — –I’m back for an update. My wish some how kinda came true. colorado is outa the big 12 now. haha. I feel sorry for you pac 10. you got duped I thinks
