CSU will go all in on that last game of the series in Ft. Fun. Tickets will be tough to find as they will promote the crap out of it. They will pull all the stops for marketing and a win. I think some of you will be surprised how hard a ticket will be.

Nubs and Georgia both “took over” perennially sold-out Notre Dumb stadium in recent years. While your point is valid, it will all depend on how much CU fans are willing to spend for tix. If offered enough money, goat fans will sell their souls (and seats) faster than you can say “Lady Gaga”. $$$ talks.

You're assuming that they can somehow limit initial sales to only CSU "fans."

If the bulk of the tickets were season tickets,

I'll wait for the laughing to subside.

...


OK, if the bulk of the tickets were season tickets, this would be an issue. But most of their ticket sales are to the public, and there's nothing to stop CU fans from buying them the moment they go on sale. About the only thing they could do to limit this is make it so that you have to buy tickets to another game in order to buy tickets for the CU game, but even that has effectiveness limits (buy a ticket for a game on a weekend CU isn't playing, and then take over their stadium again, or just donate the 2nd game ticket back to the school and book the tax deduction).

Buying secondary market tickets from a goat is the last option, and it will still be a viable one.
 
I want to respond to @Buffnik's post from earlier today, because I thought it was a good one-The CSU game took on an increased importance among this fanbase when we left the Big 12 because of the loss of the Nebraska game in my opinion (there are more posts on the anti-Cornhusker thread than there are here.......but that could just be because of Surveyvor's obsession with us)-We basically had an arranged marriage (pun intended) with Utah every Thanksgiving.......that's going to need a lot more than the 2016 game with them before it encroaches CSU's level of intensity, much less Nebraska (even without having played them in 8 years). I'd venture to say its the same for them-there's a reason why Michigan State (who is a top 15-20 team mind you) is a much easier draw on the secondary markets than us for Cornhusker fans. You ask me (I'm 31) and I'd tell you Nebraska is the only thing we have or had that resembles a rivalry. My little brother is 25 and an alum, and he'd tell you the same thing. He's already can't wait to watch a win over Nebraska in Folsom next season when they come to us. We've already decided we're taking our dad to that game for his next birthday. I can guarantee you that if we get four sellouts and four national broadcasts for these games between the two of us between now and 2023, RG and Bill Moos will find a way to make sure we play semi-consistently.

I'm sure I've told the story on here of the time I asked my father (who is a 65 year old CU alum) if the Utah series would ever become a rivalry, and his response-"I don't care about CSU. Hell, I root for the sheep when they don't play us. The Utah fans seem perfectly nice-I hope they come to Boulder, spend a lot of money, and keep coming back. Nebraska? I hope the toilets in their fans' hotel rooms overflow."

Same age, same feeling about the affairs of the football team.
 
So this is a question for the Allbuffs lawyer brigade. The recently rebranded Canvas credit union is the naming sponsor of CSU's stadium. Does instructure, the parent company of the Canvas learning management system, used by CU, as well as universities and K-12 school systems across the world have a copyright infringement case? Not similar products, but both connected to the higher ed sphere. It would make me laugh a little or a lot if it did.
 
If you were CU, would you take $40M for 15 year naming rights from Frontier Airlines?

Would you take $20 to name the field?

I would. In a heartbeat.

SIAP

Agree. I'm more than ok with "Folsom Field at Allbuffs Stadium". I could even support another stadium sponsor that could afford to actually buy the new signage for the stadium. But the "Folsom Field" part needs to stay.

I very much wonder this also, as initially I thought that was who was sponsoring the stadium
 
not that it's really their thing, but the better known Instructure Canvas would be limited if they wnated to sponsor their own Canvas stadium.

Who knows because Bobo likes the silly mindgame stuff but would be impressive if Hill is able to play.

That'd be right around 6 months (just under I believe), and if he's truly "5-6 weeks ahead of schedule" then that sounds about right. Not sure I see the upside in rushing him back, though, unless he's far and away the best option, but with Carta-Samuels, I have to believe that isn't the case.

Bobo is doing anything to psych out the Buffs since that is his only hope of winning this year's game. I'm having a hard time seeing CSU beating CU in Denver again and even the trip to Ft. Fun.
 
Remember, they have a game the week before the RMS. I can't see him being ready by game one or two with a torn ACL. But we'll see who they put out there week one.

I don't think Carta-Samuels can practice with them until fall camp......
