Folsom Field Seating Chart
Folsom Field is the home of Colorado Buffaloes football, set against the Flatirons in Boulder at over 5,300 feet of altitude. The mountain backdrop and thin air make it one of the most scenic and physically demanding venues in college football.
Sections at Folsom Field
The Folsom Field chart lists 5 main sections, and the one on your ticket does most of the deciding — price, distance, and view included. Scan the list before you buy, keeping in mind that the event type reshuffles the room: concerts, games, and private buyouts each open different parts of the house.
- Lower level — sideline and end-zone rows nearest the field
- Club level — premium mid-tier on the west side
- Upper level — top of the bowl
- Student section in the north end
- Suites on the west side
Best seats at Folsom Field
West-side sections near midfield give afternoon shade and frame the Flatirons across the field for the postcard view. The east upper deck looks straight at the mountains but bakes in the sun for early kickoffs.
Tips before you go
Boulder runs game-day shuttles and the lots fill fast, so use park-and-ride or rideshare rather than circling campus. Altitude and intense Colorado sun affect visitors — hydrate, wear sunscreen, and expect cold once the sun drops behind the foothills.
How to read the Folsom Field seating chart
The Folsom Field chart divides 50,183 seats around a field across 5 named sections — Lower level, Club level, Upper level, Student section in the north end, and Suites on the west side. Which of those names is printed on your ticket decides more than location: two sections apart can mean a different level, a different price bracket, and a different side of the room entirely.
Three things decide a Folsom Field seat: how close you are to the field, whether you sit on a sideline or in an end zone, and how high you are. Two sections apart — say Suites on the west side and Lower level — can put you a level higher, a price tier over, or on the far side of the Boulder venue, so which one is the value sweet spot comes down to the event and your budget; the best-seats notes above call it for Folsom Field. Match your ticket to the official Folsom Field map — section, row, and seat — before you buy.
Sizewise, Folsom Field holds 50,183, which puts it 2nd of 13 Colorado venues in this guide: Empower Field at Mile High (76,125) is the next size up, Coors Field (50,144) the next size down.
