Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I purchased PIT tickets for ODESZA and CU sent me GA field. When I called to fix this they said pit was sold out and they would call me if tickets become available. They said their system has a feature that allows customers to show “best available” and when I clicked on pit they gave me different tickets. This is UNACCEPTABLE! I bought these in pre sale and I’m flying from florida to see this show. They couldn’t do anything to help me and I am disappointed. I will not be coming here again

We are CU supporters as both daughter and son-in-law are graduates of this fantastic university. But we recently attended the CU-USC game and were very disappointed (read upset) about the low level of sportsmanship. The Old Fieldhouse on the west side is a huge fire trap, this needs to get on a capital improvements project. The visitors are relegated to small corner in the NW side of the field, where the bleacher seats are so narrow, a normal person (do not even consider a large to XL size person) could never fit. We witnessed ROW 7 get to the point where there was not even 1/8 inch left. We were lucky to book 6 seats for 5 people, rented the stadium chairs (which help greatly in establishing your space), and barely had room. So that means the seat spacing should be increased by a minimum of 1/6 (read 16.67%). The level of sportsmanship was so low, there were several CU fans with Triple X rated speech in front of the family crowd. Come on Buffs, you can do much better.

Watched CU beat New Hampshire 45-14 on 9/15/18 from 3PM - 7PM; At 2:30 go into the field house on the west side next to the Stadium to hear the CU band play school fight songs before the game. Lots of fun. Was a very hot day; high was 91 degrees and inside the fieldhouse probably 100 degrees with no a/c; we had seats on the 50 yard line on the shady at 3PM west (visitor) side: section 106, row 32, seats 7 & 8; $150 each. There are no water bottle filling stations...just old fashioned drinking fountains. Stadium is hard metal bench seats with no seat back; you can rent attachable cushioned seats with back for $8 before you go inside the stadium. Can't bring in seat cushions that have zippers or compartments; security very strict. East side was in full baking sun, probably 100 degrees. Team mascot, Ralphie, a 1000 pound female buffalo, runs onto the field leading the football team at the start of the game and start of the second half. She stays in an air conditioned travel trailer at the north end of the field. Overall was a fun game. Just pick your seats carefully.

This place is insane! Being from the UK you expect the US stadiums to be a lot smaller, this place is crazy big. Go and visit! You won't be disappointed!

This is the best place in the country to attend a football game. Nothing compares to the game day experience in this location! Add in the pageantry and your favorite team for a perfect Saturday afternoon.

You can not find a better place to watch college football game than high in the east stands. Football on the field and the Flatirons (mountains to non-boulderites) in the distance. I'm still waiting for the support the SEC fans give their teams but it is coming. When the stands are filled to capacity it will be better, but then you won't be able to get a ticket. Try to buy a ticket in the club level- the food there is great and beer and wine are sold. There are also food trucks around the stadium that have 4 star food. Come and watch the Buffs!

If you enjoy college football...this is a great town to see a game and a great place to see one. THe other major event here is the Boulder Bolder: a giant running race (about 500000 people) that come from all over the world. Families gather to support their running members, and others just to see the elite runners.

Love Folsom Field. Back in the 1980’s, I used to run the stairs.
In 2024, having endowed a scholarship in Education Abroad - we received an invite to watch a football game in the private Presidential suite on the 7th floor. We felt like royalty! Ability to watch a CU game from an uber premier location - and meet some CU royalty…better than winning the Lotto.
Go Ralphie, go!

Ralphie did not run today because she was not 100%. She was at Ralphie's corral for pictures. Go Buffs Go.

We're Coming this July'23 to Folsom Field from Chicago to see the final tour of DEAD & CO! It's my first concert since the pandemic started. I guess I'm cracking the seal wIdE open!
My bf surprised me with tix.I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Never been there and I have no idea what to expect or even what to wear🤪. I know i have to bring a clear bag/purse, but any other suggestions or tips for this venue?
😊 thanks in advance and be well!☮️🕊

Are the ticketing fees cheaper if you buy direct from the box office window?

Hi, Where outside were the seat cushion rentals?
Were they available in many places or just one?
Was there a long line or was it easy to get?
Once inside, did you have an assigned spot on the bleacher bench to put your rented cushion?
Were you able to leave the cushion on the bench and go to the restroom, or did you have to keep it with you at all times?
We will be there for the Dead & Co concerts this summer and hope to rent cushions with backs.
Thank you!

I went for Dead & Co last year. I came from California and had never been there before. It seems disorganized and confusing to me. I went in a handicapped entrance where there was no line, but, I had to walk around the whole stadium to get to my seats. The other part of our group, who live in Boulder came in through a different entrance. They didn't make it to the seats until about 4 songs into the show. Security was so long, but I was told that screening was minimal. The bench seat has an assigned number. I never saw cushion rentals, but those metal benches were very uncomfortable. Being a Dead show, people are standing up most of the time (but I had my leg in a splint) and I don't think anyone would mess with a cushion if you leave it at your seat
Written 1 December 2018
Yes they rent seats that fit onto the hard benches. These have a back as well as cushion.
Worth getting as benches are uncomfortable when sitting for long time.

I have no idea, but you definitely need them. Uncomfortable aluminum bleacher seats

I would like to sit where I can see the visiting cheerleaders. What section will they put them in and which section should we sit in order to see them?
Written 10 October 2016
I saw a concert there, not a football game. I'm sure you could contact the school's athletic department and they could answer that question for you.

Greetings,
I recently purchased 3 ADA tickets from someone who purchased them as his daughter is handicapped.
He said he called Folsom and asked if he could sell the tickets as he has to cancel. He said the box office person said as long as ticket is purchased it may be sold. He sent his receipt for the tickets as well
I am checking to see if this is correct before we head out to see the DSO show on 7/3/316
Thanks in advance

I think each venue is distinct in how they handle this type of situation, but we recently had a similar experience at Red Rocks and they came up the same answer.
It sounds like it's going to work out fine. Enjoy the show!

My wife is on oxygen and can walk short distances. Is there anywhere close to the stadium that she can be dropped off. Will she be able to bring in her oxygen equipment? How about a walker, can she bring it in and store it anywhere?
Written 27 September 2015
Yes, there is ADA accessibility even with the construction. If you have a car tag security will let you through and direct you where to go.
