Buffs fans, former players celebrate 100 years of Folsom Field

Several upgrades have been added since CU's stadium was built in 1924, but the spectacular Flatirons view remains the same.

BOULDER, Colo. — Whether it's the view of the Flatirons or the running Ralphie, there's something special about the University of Colorado's Folsom Field.Originally named Colorado Stadium, it was renamed Folsom Field in 1944 in honor of legendary football coach Fred Folsom.

“Coach Mac used to always say when he was recruiting me, 'You know you’re coming here to God’s country,' and that’s what it was like," Hagan said. “It’s a very intimate setting. I don’t know if that’s the right word for football. When you’re running behind the buffalo, that’s just -- I don’t even know how to describe it. It was just so exciting," he said.

Tufts met his wife at CU. They take their kids to home games. He vividly remembers the football games he was part of, and has plenty of memories about running Ralphie. Chad Brown played linebacker for 15 seasons in the NFL, but many of his best memories began in Boulder.
