25 best college football stadiums to watch a college football game
By Nick Villano
21. Folsom Field, Colorado
Folsom Field literally allows fans to get a view of the Rocky Mountains while watching a football game. There is just something special about seeing that majestic sight while football plays down below. Maybe that’s why the Buffaloes have struggled as they have.
The noise levels for a stadium as small as Folsom Field shouldn’t reach too high, but maybe it’s the mountain air or the enclosure on top of a hill, but when things are going Colorado’s way, it’s deafening. That’s underrated about the stadium. Again, it’s probably because those mountains are just so distracting.
The stadium is more than a mile above sea level. It’s the highest elevation for a Power 5 school in the country (Wyoming and Air Force of the Mountain West are the only ones higher).
It’s honestly a shame the team isn’t better. Colorado rarely sells out. They seem to sell out one game every two or three years. If they could actually put a good team on the field and the coaches didn’t run to the first program with a big checkbook (looking at you Mel Tucker), then Folsom Field would be considered one of the coolest college football destinations in the country.
