FOLSOM FIELD & COORS EVENTS CENTER

PC 309

Colorado Buffaloes (NCAA) (1924-present)

Folsom Field is an outdoor football stadium on the campus of the University of Colorado in Boulder, Colorado. It is the home field of the Colorado Buffaloes of the PAC 12 Conference.

Folsom Field opened in 1924, and has been the home of the CU football team ever since. Through the 2007 football season, the Buffs have a home record of 286–139–14, a winning percentage of .667. Prior to the opening of Folsom Field, CU played its games at Gamble Field for two decades, where the seating capacity of 9,000 was limited to temporary bleachers.

Originally known as Colorado Stadium for its first twenty years, it was renamed in 1944, following the death of legendary CU coach Fred Folsom. He coached the Buffs from 1895–1902 and 1908–15, compiling a 78–24–2 (.760) overall record.

Coors Events Center is an 11,064-seat multi-purpose arena on the Boulder main campus of the University of Colorado. The arena opened in 1979, and is home to the Colorado Buffaloes men's and women's basketball teams and the volleyball team.

The building was renamed in September 1990 after the Coors Brewing Company, for which Coors paid $5 million to the university. The building is an eight-sided concrete structure, with two levels (the upper one being smaller) being above ground and the rest being below. Inside, the building is single-tiered. It replaced the Balch Fieldhouse, the current home of the indoor track and field team located directly adjacent to Folsom Field.
