Pre-game:  This game was part of a family trip combined with the Patriots Broncos game.  We stayed in Denver, which is about an hour away.  The game was in the afternoon so there wasn't a lot of pregame activity.  We got there about 90 minutes before hand and had food and a beer at the Rayback Collective, which is an outdoor space with food trucks and beer.  Nice place, was not crowded but didn't spend enough time there to have an opinion.

Game Experience:  It was a good time. Definitely not one of college footballs most intense game day sites but it had it's moments.  They have a field house attached where you can BUY BEER.   The only catch is that you have to drink it on the concourse, you can't bring it back to your seats.  The game was against USC and didn't sell out...I get that Colorado is down this year compared to last but you would figure they would get out for USC. 

I definitely wanted to see Ralphie's run.  It was cool.  It's not the War Eagle flying down but it's still pretty good. 

Stadium: Folsom is a jewel.  The design is cozy and the backdrop of the mountains definitely adds to the atmosphere. The stadium expansions

Post Game: There wasn't a whole lot of incentive to hang around after the game.  Neither the tailgate or the bar scene looked

Overall:  Good, but not great spot.  I would consider going back again under the right circumstanced (Both teams would have to be ranked).
