Folsom Field Clear Bag Policy

CU Athletics instituted a clear bag policy in 2016. Fans may bring one clear bag no larger than 12 inches x 6 inches x 12 inches, or a one-gallon resealable clear plastic storage bag, into Folsom Field. Fans also will be allowed one small clutch purse, no larger than 4.5 inches by 6.5 inches. Bags that will no longer be allowed into Folsom Field include backpacks, large purses, oversized tote bags, camera bags and binocular cases, diaper bags, fanny packs and printed plastic bags. Seat cushions and chair backs will still be allowed, but they must be 18 inches or less in width and cannot have pockets, zippers or covers. For more information about the new policy, please visit the CU Athletics website.

Join the CU Marching Band, Spirit Squad, Chip and other Buffs fans 2.5 hours before kickoff at the new Buff Walk as the football team makes its way from the buses on Colorado Avenue to the locker room along the east side of the stadium.
