Know Before You Go: Football vs. Kansas State
October 10, 2024 | Football, Gameday
The University of Colorado will host Kansas State University this Saturday, October 12 at 8:15 p.m. The game has sold out. Note that gates will open at 6 p.m. and fans are encouraged to enter the stadium no later than the one-hour mark before kickoff to avoid missing any pregame festivities, including Ralphie's run and kickoff. Â
Please be reminded that there is no re-entry to Folsom Field. Once you enter the game, you cannot leave and come back inside the stadium. Also, Folsom Field has a clear bag policy in place and this year, no lockers are available for rental. Please review the updated policy for reminders on what bags are permitted in the stadium.Â
Before you head out the door, it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with all Folsom Field Policies for this season.  Â
