How much would it cost to make the urinals look like red polyester clad grandmothers?

There should be logos of that game's opponent as a target in the urinals, also.
I don't know if I'll get ripped for this or not, but I'm going to be brutally honest.
The CU campus is one of the most beautiful in the country. The city of Boulder is one of the best college towns in the country. The setting and views for this campus and city is one of the best in the country.
As far as the stadium and gameday experience, I don't have much positive to say. Tailgating and pre-gaming in Boulder are pretty weak. Seating, amenities, sound, video boards and concessions at Folsom are below average. And it's a very small capacity P5 stadium that rarely sells out.
Put that same stuff anywhere else and Folsom would be consistently rated one of the worst college game spots in the country. However, with the location stuff plus the Ralphie running tradition it ends up being rated among the top college experiences.
And this is what drives me crazy. What we have that is special is so ridiculously over-the-top special that we rest on that and neglect the other stuff.
I did vote "B", but only because I think that kicking up the tailgating atmosphere and the athletics culture on campus is both needed and do-able. Besides that, I don't think that Folsom needs small patches and piecemeal projects. What Folsom needs is a renovation that will cost at least a hundred million, maybe 2x or 3x that.
Part of the problem is, overall, we have had a very lazy donor base. RG has turned this around, but it takes time to build some serious momentum.

It would probably be cheaper to put a balloon dispenser next to each urinal.
This would be great until they showed a fusker highlight. At that point multiple users would aim up at the screen leading at least a couple to electrocute themselves and sue the university.
Upon hearing that it was fusker highlights that caused it the kNU athletic department would credit a couple of their linemen with knockdown blocks or tackles.
Wouldn't it be cool if you could leave the seats as is, but rebuild the base concrete and also create essentially Football Dugouts that have covered seating under the sunken area. There could be a padded wall in front of the dugouts at essentially the same place that the current wall is with intermittent openings. This would allow the teams to stay safer on the sideline, and would allow the field to be used for Soccer and Lacrosse.
I'm going out on a limb and saying that B should be taken care of since the cost of doing those now shouldn't be a big issue. Whatever Fix Folsom and The Keg needs, it's going to cost a bunch of money and it seems like it has been difficult to get those big ticket donations to CU athletics.

Screw widening the field, the proximity to the field is part of the coolness of Folsom. It's a football stadium. Put the other sports elsewhere.

I recall an opposing RB sliding under the bench and nailing the wall in the 90s. Don't remember who.
IMO, Folsom is just old as **** and looks like it. Bringing it into the 21st century should be a priority in the same vein as getting the Champions Center and IPF built. Not as important for recruiting as those, but the stadium looks small time. CU needs the bells and whistles to remain competitive in recruiting and the stadium is part of that.
