Folsom Field
 Boulder, CO
With its magnificent views of the Rocky Mountains, Folsom Field is one the most picturesque stadiums in the Big 12. Prior to playing at Folsom Stadium, the Colorado Buffaloes had played at Gramble Field for several decades. By the 1920s, through fan support, team outgrew this stadium. Colorado President George Nolin led the effort to get a new stadium built for the Buffaloes. Construction of the $65,000 stadium began in January 1924. Originally known as Colorado Stadium, it was completed in less than ten months when the Buffaloes battled Regis College on October 11, 1924. The original capacity was at 26,000.

Colorado Buffaloes Tickets

 
In 1944, Colorado Stadium was renamed Folsom Field in honor of legendary football coach Fred Folsom. As support for the team continued to build, Folsom Field was expanded. The first expansions came in 1956, when the upper deck was added around the majority of the stadium giving the stadium a capacity of 45,000. By the 1967 season, the track was removed from around the field and 6,000 seats were added, along with the construction of new locker rooms on the north side of the stadium. One year later a massive six story press box was constructed. Three years later artificial turf was installed at Folsom Field replacing the natural grass. Before the 1976 season, the wooden bleachers were removed and replaced with aluminum seats boosting the capacity to just over 52,000. The Dal Ward Center and new bleachers on the north side of the stadium were constructed in 1991. Over the past ten years, luxury suites and club seats have been added to the stadium in 1995 and 2003. A new video/scoreboard, known as “Buff Vision” was installed in 1995 along with the return of grass replacing the artificial turf. Today, Folsom Field has a seating capacity of 53,750 and blends in nicely with its surroundings.
