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
Folsom Field's seating bowl is organized into the following main sections. Section layout differs by event — a sports configuration and a concert configuration of the same arena are not the same chart.
- 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
Folsom Field seats 50,183 around a field, so reading the chart starts at midfield and works outward and upward. The lower bowl (the 100 level) rings the field closest to the action; the club and suite level sits in the middle; the upper deck climbs steeply above for the widest view. Sideline sections face the field square on and command a premium, while end-zone and corner sections cost less for a more angled look.
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. For a stadium this size, the value sweet spot is usually the first few rows of the upper sideline at center — close enough to read the play, cheap enough to justify, and high enough for the full picture. Cross-check the official Folsom Field map against your ticket's section, row, and seat before you buy, because a seat that is perfect for a concert can sit behind the stage for a game.
