Nebraska, Stanford Games Sell Out

BOULDER – With over a month until the 2023 season begins, two Colorado Buffaloes football games have already sold out, including the home opener against Nebraska on Sept. 9 and the Family Weekend game against Stanford on Oct. 13.

The two match-ups are the first two games of the 2023 season to completely sell out and are the first since 2019, also the last season to feature two sellouts, when Folsom Field was at capacity for Nebraska's last visit on Sept. 7 and on Oct. 5 when Colorado hosted Arizona.

Approximately 25 percent of students tickets will be sold on August 15 at 10 a.m. The initial allotment of CU Student Sports Passes went on sale July 11 and sold out in less than an hour. Also, a limited number of tickets for the Stanford game are being held for families that register for Family Weekend.

Tickets for the other four home games remain on sale and can be purchased here.

The 2023 season will not only open the Deion "Coach Prime" Sanders Era at Colorado but is also the 100th season of historic Folsom Field, annually ranked as a top venue in college football.

The season opener against Nebraska will be the 77th sellout in Folsom Field history and will also feature FOX's Big Noon Kickoff and CU will host the network's pregame show and the game will air in one of the premier broadcast windows. The Nebraska game is the second home-and-home series since the two left the Big 12 Conference in 2010, with Colorado winning both games in 2018 and '19.

The Stanford game is part of CU's Family Weekend, always well attended, and will be the only home game this season on Friday. Colorado hasn't played the Cardinal since the 2020 season and the Buffs have won the last three match-ups dating back to 2016.

Entering 2023, the Buffs have sold out 76 of 411 games since 1937 when data is available. The 2023 campaign will mark the 22nd season on record with multiple games sold out. CU has never sold out every game in a season, coming closest in 1993 when the Buffs sold out five of six games. The Buffs have sold out three or more games seven times, all coming in a seven year stretch from 1990-96.

CU announced on April 17 that it had sold out of season tickets, the first school nationally to announce a sellout of season tickets.

Select single game tickets do remain for the other four games on the schedule, Colorado State on Sept. 16, Southern California on Sept. 30, CU's homecoming game against Oregon State on Nov. 4 and the Senior Day matchup with Arizona on Nov. 11.

CU's first known sellout was in the 1952 season and the stretch from 1989-97, CU sold out multiple games each of those nine seasons and 32 of 54 games in that stretch.
