Absolutely. We need to capture new fans. Tshirt fans, as it were. Not like broncos fans are alums or natives for the most part.
nope...it's supposed to be 68-71 for a high next Thurday
I'm neither and most of my group are not either. We are all from the PAC12 footprint and love college football. We became friends when of our group always had extra tickets during the Neuheisel years. We each became fans of the Buffs and it stuck. We all kept going to games even during the garbage years.
Winning will bring many of these otherwise neutral fans into our web. The key is to cement them as true fans, so they stick around for good.
50's at game time though. it'll feel cold in the unlikely even that the team doesn't give us much to cheer for.
Oh come on man. What kind of attitude is that?
If the Utah game is for the south it will sell out. They'll bring a lot more fans than they have in the past as well. Wazzu, probably not.

Fan amenities are pretty sub-standard, unless you are paying for premium seating/tailgating etc. I am not sure how much that matters (not to hard core fans) but I can see it not enticing band-wagoners.
Hope RG can slowly improve things now that the student-athletes have what they need.
When you go to buy single game tickets , you can buy 15$ tix for vets i think

Worthy cause, but it looks like those are for the Wazzu game.

What this season will do is help season tickets sales next year big time.
I hate those ****ing Yoots!!

Reported by Brian Howell that CU has sold just under 37,000 tickets so far. Not great.
Well, I hope you're right, but usually that only happens after sellouts the previous year. not like fans haven't been able to get any single game they wanted this year.
I think we're a year or two away from that bump.
Howell has been consistently wrong/behind this entire season.

Unless he's wrong by about 7,000 still not very good.

I'm thinking that the only way to salvage this number at this point is to give students the opportunity to purchase discounted tickets for sections 101-104 (visitor section) and 215-220. I know that the current AD is extremely averse to "devaluing tickets," but it shouldn't be tough to justify cutting students a deal when the alternative is either handing out thousands of freebies or having thousands of empty seats.
Even if it ends up being a pretty small crowd, I'm still hopeful that it'll be loud and engaged.

Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask, but what's your take on the rooftop terrace? Trying to fly in for the game & was considering going in on a family 4 pack & buying the rooftop upgrades. Is it an enjoyable place to watch a game? The alternative being to binge drink outside the stadium... testing ones fortitude against that of a blackout (mental, not clothing)... maybe try to sneak a few in & repeat at halftime! At least that's how I remember it playing out... been a while. Feedback appreciated!
If you live and die with every play, probably not for you. If your group wants more of just a fun time with the game as the backdrop, it's a great choice.
That said, some people on here who I know to live and die with every play do buy the rooftop passes. They don't necessarily stay there for the entire game, though. Move back and forth between seat and rooftop.
Ditto what Nik says. I bought the season worth last year@$10/game,enjoyed pregaming up there,then going to my seat the rest of the game. Price went up to $25(?)/game this year and I decided I didn't enjoy it that much.

Just get into the stadium for as cheaply as you can, never visit your assigned seats, and sit in row 2 at the 40 yard line behind the visitor's bench. There are always seats open there, and you are literally 10 yards from inbounds. Best seats in the house. Beer and wine and food is sold in nearby Balch Fieldhouse and you can see the game from there through the open doors as you sip your local beers (they don't allow the beer in the stands). As for sneaking, airline bottles are your friend. Buy a large coke inside, pour a couple of them into it, and you are set for a good while.
