Win or lose, fans will always have a good time here - surrounded by the scenic beauty of the Flatirons, and conveniently situated on one of the most beautiful college campuses in the world, you won't be disappointed. Take in a game or other activity at the stadium, then take a stroll around campus - lots of character, excellent architecture and history on this college campus. You'll want to come back and spend more time here.

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.

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

Great stadium in a great location. Crowd was nice. Team could be better. Seats were decent. I'm used to (and love!) "SEC Football" but it was nice to see a big crowd that didn't need to be all dressed up to watch a football game.

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.

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.

Overall, i found the Folsom Field experience to be average.The good points. 1. The views. If you sit on the visiting side, the views of the Flatirons and surrounding mountains are beautiful. 2. Ralphie. Watching the CU mascot run is a cool treat for any college football fan. The not so bad points. 1. The stadium is quite old and overall and average experience. There isn't anything outstanding about the stadium itself. The atmosphere is subdued, most likely in large part because the Buffs haven't been very good for some time. 2. The cost. I found the visit here to be quite a bit more expensive than the places i see games back home. $14.00 for a couple bottled waters?If you are a die hard college football fan, i'm sure you'd find a game here enjoyable, just don't expect anything to be out of this world memorable.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

I have been to about 10 college football stadiums. I would rate this one as average as far as atmosphere. The fans of course are rude to oppossing fan base. The stadium is nice, not very loud.

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.

The Romans had their amphitheatre and Boulder has its Folsom Field. We watched this being constructed and marvelled as we saw it emerge. Strolling by evokes memories of Graduations and Boulder Boulder finish lines! With both boys graduated and hardly another race left in me, it's great to just walk by and reminisce.
