Gameday Information For Texas State
September 08, 2017 | Football
BOULDER – Fans attending the home opener between the Colorado Buffaloes and Texas State on Saturday at Folsom Field are encouraged to be in their seats by 11:45 a.m. for the 12:01 p.m. kickoff. Below are game day policies and features that Buffs fans should know.
Buffs Fan Zone: Come enjoy the Buffs Fan Zone inside the indoor practice facility starting pregame and throughout the game. The Buffs Fan Zone will feature the Chip's Kids Club area featuring interactive games and activities for kids of all ages. Concessions, including access to beer and wine, with plenty of seating is also available. The Buffs Fan Zone will open 2 hours before kickoff and can be accessed from inside of Folsom Field.
Buff Walk: Be a part of our team welcome tradition by joining the band, spirit, Chip and other Buffs fans at the Buff Walk to welcome the team busses as they arrive for the game. The players will arrive approximately 2.5 hours before kickoff on Colorado Avenue at the southwest corner of the stadium and walk through the fans down the Buff Walk on their way to their locker room. Come cheer them on and let them know you are behind them before every home game. For Texas State, the team is scheduled to arrive around 9:40 a.m.
Ralphie's Corral: The CU alumni tailgate tent is now located behind Duane Physics on the south side of Colorado Avenue. This event is free to the public, and features photo ops with Ralphie, performances by the CU Marching Band and Spirit Squad, fun games for kids, pictures with Chip, premium giveaways including CU Nike Gear, music and concession-style food and drink available for purchase.
CU in 60: Don't wait until 11:45 a.m. to try and get in the game. You'll have to wait. We continue to work with our security partners to expedite lines in a safe and secure manner, but there are limits as to how many people can get through our entrances in a short period of time. Get to your seat early. A good rule of thumb: kickoff is at 12, so make your way to the gates starting at 11 a.m., that's 60 minutes before kickoff.
Clear Bag Policy: Continuing this season, fans may bring one clear bag no larger than 12 inches by 6 inches by 12 inches, or a one-gallon resealable clear plastic storage bag, into the stadium. Fans will also be allowed one small clutch purse, no larger than 4.5 inches by 6.5 inches. Bags that will no longer be allowed into Folsom Field include backpacks, large purses, oversized tote bags, camera bags and binocular cases, diaper bags, fanny packs and printed plastic bags. Seat cushions and chair backs will still be allowed, but they must be 18 inches or less in width and cannot have pockets, zippers or covers. Please review the full clear bag policy at www.cubuffs.com/beclear.
Franklin Field Tailgate Zone: Franklin Field will be family-friendly, vehicle-free, and zero-waste, featuring infinitely recyclable aluminum containers, compostable foodware, full compost and recycling collections. Fans can access their tent-tailgate space from parking located in the solar-powered Indoor Practice Facility underground garage adjacent to Franklin Field. There is no glass and no "red cups" allows this year, and the smoke-free campus policy is also in effect. The FFTZ does not allow glass and other hazards from being deposited on the field where kids play during tailgate times and student-athletes practice between games.
