America's 50 Most Legendary Stadiums In Every State

6. Colorado – Folsom Field (Capacity: 50,183)

Folsom Field, perched in the picturesque foothills of Boulder, is the University of Colorado’s proud home for the Buffaloes. First opened in 1924, it currently accommodates around 50,183 fans, with expansions carefully blending old-world charm and modern convenience. The stadium’s location is legendary: glimpses of the Flatirons to the southwest create a breathtaking canvas at dusk, captivating fans and opposing teams alike. On autumn Saturdays, Ralphie the buffalo—CU’s live mascot—charges across the field, eliciting roars of excitement from the spirited student section. Folsom Field’s altitude of about 5,400 feet adds another layer of complexity for visiting squads, as the thinner air can affect endurance. Recent renovations introduced a state-of-the-art high-definition video board and improved concessions, ensuring an enhanced experience without losing Folsom’s historic appeal.
