The Buffs aren't very good these days, but that doesn't mean you should skip Folsom Field. It has hands down the most beautiful stadium view I've ever seen as it looks onto the Flat Irons and base of the Rocky Mountains. The atmosphere is great as Ralphie the Buffalo storms onto the field in what is one of the finest college traditions. Mark this trip on your list if your team is visiting Boulder. You'll probably see a win at the very least.
Amazing and historic stadium. just an awesome field and awesome views of the mountains from the stands. You can hear the stadium on big plays everywhere in boulder. Could use an upgrade in terms of the amenities (wish they sold beer!) but otherwise its great. Stinks the Buffs haven't been good in awhile!
I have been to several college football stadiums and have to say Folsom Field is simply average. The view of the mountains in the background is spectacular, but the stadium and surroundings are average. It is not a bad university, but small and insignificant compared to the rest of the Big 12 and Pac 12.
If you sit on the east side of the stadium you have a great view of the Flatirons to the west - spectacular. Not many better places, if any, to watch a college football game on a fall afternoon
Watching a football game at CU is great... Watching Ralphie run even when the team is not doing so well is a great deal of fun.
This was our first visit to the stadium for the Buffs homecoming game. Here are some things you might need to know if you don't frequent other stadiums. Read the list of restricted items on the websites on sizes of coolers and bags allowed. Arrive early because there is no public parking close to the entrance; closer lots are for donors; public lots on campus are $25 per car and they fill early. You can park at the 29th Street mall and walk. It also takes a while to get through the gate since they wand you and look in your bags. If it is sunny and warm, bring sunscreen and hats, and lots of water. Many people around us left early due to the heat and sunburn (even though the Buffs were winning!). Traffic control was efficient despite the crowds. The views of the mountains from the stadium were beautiful, even if you aren't a football fan. And watching Ralphie run at the start of the game and after halftime was a unique experience.
Great experience in perfect weather. It's not as huge as other college football stadiums but it was my alma mater so it mattered. It's not everyday that you watch a football game below but when you look up and around, you see mountains.
A decent college stadium with great views. Food options are somewhat limited compared to other venues. You can't beat watching Ralphie run the field with her handlers. That is always the most entertaining part of the game these days.
This is by far the friendliest football stadium I've ever been too.. And I was rooting for the other team! Great tailgating. Beautiful stadium. Watching Ralphie run onto the field was amazing! My seat was in the CU student section and they tolerated me well, and I'm a totally obnoxious football fan. Great experience that I highly recommend.
Older stadium. Picture opporunities with Ralphie. Fun to watch him lead the team on the field. I thought we paid a lot for tickets considering the number of empty seats. Wont do that next time. CU kinda gets screwed on Game start times. 11am...Really come on. I think they get a fair number of late starts as well which hurts attendance.
