Colorado University Athletics
Etch Your Name In History At Sunday's Spring Game
March 12, 2015 | Football
Attention Colorado Buffaloes fans: You have the opportunity to add your name to a piece of university history.
In honor of the athletic facilities expansion, a ceremonial beam will be available to sign at Sunday's Spring Game which kicks off at Folsom Field at 2 p.m.; gates open at 1 p.m.
The 22-foot topper beam can be found at Folsom Field near Gate 6 on Sunday. This beam will be the last one placed atop the new Champions Center structure upon its completion. The beam is 16 inches tall, weighs 67 pounds per foot, and totals 1,463 pounds overall.
Traditionally, beams in topping out ceremonies feature the signatures of all workers involved in the project. According to Mortenson Construction, “athletes, students and faculty are encouraged to sign the ceremonial beam” during the spring game at CU (see beam placement below). Mortenson-Populous, based in Denver, is the company involved with the current Athletic Complex Expansion project. M.A. Mortenson Jr., a CU graduate, is the company's chairman.
In addition to signing the beam, fans who don't already have tickets will get a chance to see and purchase season tickets in the best locations still available. For more information or to set up an appointment call 303-492-8282.
Concessions partner Levy Restaurants will also have stands open throughout the stadium, featuring a new smoothie “power up” station at the Club Level and a BBQ smoker on the east concourse. Fans can enjoy free samples of smoked wings and made-to-order smoothies, all perfect for a warm spring day in Boulder.
Following the game, season ticket holders are invited onto the field to participate in a meet & greet and 'selfie' session with the 2015 Colorado Buffaloes squad.
Admission and parking are both free of charge, and the Byron R. White Club level will be open for all fans. General public parking is available in lots 354, 359, 380, 436, 494N and ADA parking is available in lot 360.
