I usually try to arrive in Boulder at least an hour and half prior to kick and am usually at the stadium with a good hour to poke around and take in the experience.
Today, we pulled off of I36 at 12:15 due to crazy traffic after driving up from Parker. Traffic was even more nuts in Boulder today but we went up Broadway and tried to turn off and park in the lots by Kittridge which I could see had plenty of open spaces. They had some parking enforcer only allowing some cars to turn off into Regent. We were denied yet some cars ahead were allowed in and some behind us were allowed in. Ok, we proceed to the next entrance at 18th which I have parked at many times before and they told us all the spots were full even though I saw many open as we made the u turn to go to Basemar. Drove to Basemar and that lot was full. Finally found an open lot at the High School across Broadway.
Fine whatever, we finally parked and made the 10 minute walk over to Folsom where they are doing these half-ass security checks. What the hell is the point of checking my arm pits and shoulders for weapons and booze? These lines to get in the stadium are a disaster and take for ever. Do they even find anything on anyone here? The guy checking people actually asked the two girls in front of me if they had anything illegal on them and when they said no, he just let them pass. By the time we finally got into the game we missed the kick and the first minute or so and for what?
The game was fun today even though we lost in ugly fashion but the overall experience today was *****! By the time I sat in my seat I was pissed off and from what I saw I was not the only one thinking this.
