Seating Recommendations and Charts

Folsom Field offers seating for approximately 50,183 guests, with a traditional bowl layout of primarily reserved stadium seating and some general admission areas for concerts and special events. Sections are numbered and organized by location — West Sideline, East Sideline, North End Zone, and South End Zone — with typical row ranges running from 1 to 70.

• West Sideline: A favorite for its combination of excellent sightlines and postcard‑worthy Flatirons views. This side houses premium options — including club level seating, suites, loge boxes, and club lounges — and is ideal if you want amenities alongside a prime vantage point.

• East Sideline: Opposite the west stands, these sections offer straightforward, balanced sightlines across the field. Numbered sections and rows make it easy to target midfield views or pick a slightly elevated row (in the typical 1–70 range) for a fuller perspective of the action.

• North End Zone: Great for end‑zone energy and up‑close views of scoring plays. If you like to see plays develop toward you, target sections behind the goalposts; higher rows offer a broader overview of formations.

• South End Zone: Similar end‑zone vantage points with a bowl‑wide perspective. Consider mid-to-upper rows to capture both near‑sideline action and the opposite end of the field without constant head‑turning.

• Club Level, Suites & Loge Boxes (West Side): Premium seating with enhanced amenities and access to club lounges — perfect if you value comfort, shorter concession lines, and a more exclusive environment.

Use Ticket Purchase’ interactive seating chart to see real-time availability and prices — and to compare angles across sidelines and end zones. If you’re still deciding, explore the interactive Folsom Field seating chart to match your preferences with the right section and row.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Folsom Field

2400 Colorado Ave

Boulder, CO 80302

Set in the heart of Boulder — about 30 miles northwest of downtown Denver — the stadium sits on the University of Colorado campus with the Flatirons as its dramatic backdrop. On major Folsom Field events and Buffaloes game days, the surrounding area buzzes with activity.

• Parking: Limited on-site parking; several campus lots are available with pre‑paid permits. Event‑day parking can be expensive and fills quickly. Alternative parking is available in nearby city garages and lots with shuttle service on game days.
• Public Transit: RTD bus service connects Denver and Boulder, with stops near campus. Special Buff Bus shuttles operate on game days.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and dropoff zones are typically located near the stadium along Colorado Avenue.

Arrival Recommendations

Arrive 60–90 minutes before kickoff or showtime to account for parking, security screening, and entry lines — especially for rivalry games or major concerts. Pre‑purchase parking when possible, and confirm your lot location so you can plan the walk to your gate.

Boulder’s weather can change quickly at this outdoor venue. Pack sun protection for day games, a light rain layer for pop‑up showers, and warmer clothing for evening temperature drops. Download your mobile tickets ahead of time; cell service is generally strong but can slow during large events.

Expect some walking from surrounding garages and campus lots, and remember that Folsom Field sits at approximately 5,400 feet of elevation. If you’re not used to the altitude, take it easy, stay hydrated, and give yourself a little extra time to reach your seats comfortably.

Venue Navigation

Folsom Field features a classic bowl layout with clearly labeled, numbered sections across the West Sideline, East Sideline, and both end zones. Elevators and ramps provide access to all levels, and premium areas on the west side include club seating, suites, loge boxes, and lounges.

Concessions and merchandise stands line the main concourses, with multiple options for classic stadium fare, local vendors, and official team gear. You’ll also find ATMs and mobile charging stations in the primary concourse areas. With stairs in many sections and some walking required, comfortable footwear is a smart choice.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Clear bag policy in effect; bags must be clear plastic and not exceed 12" x 6" x 12". Small clutch bags (no larger than 4.5" x 6.5") are allowed.
• Prohibited Items: Weapons, alcohol, outside food and beverages, umbrellas, large bags, drones, noisemakers, and professional cameras with detachable lenses.
• Re-entry Policy: No re-entry allowed once your ticket is scanned.
• Service Animals: Only service animals as defined by ADA are permitted.
• Camera Policy: Small personal cameras are allowed; professional cameras with detachable lenses are prohibited unless credentialed.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Dress in layers — Boulder’s outdoor weather can change quickly, especially after sunset.
• If you’re seated on the west side, plan to catch a spectacular Flatirons sunset before kickoff or the opening act.
• Give yourself extra time if you’re not accustomed to altitude — hydrate and take it slow on stairs.

Pre-Event Planning

Build in extra time before your event to make the most of the campus setting and the stadium’s unique views. The west side of Folsom Field is known for panoramic Flatirons vistas — time your arrival for golden hour to savor a signature Boulder sunset. After dark, exterior lighting highlights the stadium’s architecture, making for great post‑event photos.

If you’re coordinating with a group, set a simple meetup plan — choose a numbered section on the concourse or a rideshare point along Colorado Avenue — so everyone can find each other even if cell networks slow down. For game days, consider RTD routes or Buff Bus shuttles to bypass full parking lots and streamline your arrival.

For concerts and special events, check your ticket for any general admission details or premium lounge access. Knowing your entry point and seating level in advance keeps you moving and gives you more time to settle in, grab concessions, and enjoy the pre‑show atmosphere.

Accessibility

Folsom Field is ADA‑accessible, with ADA‑designated parking near stadium entrances and accessible seating available throughout multiple sections — companion seating is provided. Elevators and ramps support access to all levels, and mobility shuttles (golf carts) operate from select lots for guests with mobility needs.

Assistive listening devices are available at guest services to enhance the in‑venue audio experience. If you need help selecting accessible seating, contact Ticket Purchase for personalized support before you buy.

Dining Options

Inside the venue, you’ll find multiple concession stands serving stadium favorites — hot dogs, burgers, pizza, and nachos — plus local vendors that bring a Boulder flavor to game day. Look for specialty items like green chili, vegetarian options, and Colorado craft beers throughout the concourses.

Premium areas on the west side feature club lounges that typically offer a more relaxed environment and quicker access to food and beverages. Whether you’re in the bowl or a premium seat, you’ll have convenient options nearby for snacks, meals, and drinks without missing the action.
