Net Zero Venues

CU Buffs walk the talk when it comes to sports sustainablity.  

Folsom Field was the nation's first zero waste collegiate stadium. All football, basketball, and volleyball games held at Folsom Field or the CU Event Center  are zero waste events. Zero waste was just the first step for CU towards a sustainable athletics program. All new buildings on the CU Boulder campus are built to LEED standards and the Athletics facilities are no exception. The Basketball & Volleyball Practice Facility and Champions Center Complex (including the Champions Center, Dal Ward, and the Indoor Practice Facility) are pending LEED Platinum certifications. Existing buildings -- Folsom Field and the CU Event Center -- have been retrofitted to be more energy and water efficient. All fields on campus are pesticide-free, providing a healthier playing field for our athletes, fans, and the environment.
