CU just took new aerial photos for marketing this morning now that construction is done. Absolutely gorgeous. (I love and hate that they cut out the Engineering Center)
All of the concrete in Folsom needs to be resurfaced/replaced including that ramp, but they definitely need to find a way to keep that in the endzone if possible.
Who wants the south end zone area changed and why?? Like you said, it's an iconic part of CU Football.
bike racks, as far as the eye can see...
Maybe it was just the resurfacing thing. But I thought I remembered chatter calling for re-doing it in the next phases of stadium remodel.

It looks better than I thought was gonna happen, still wanna see the black end zones with gold letters though. Yes, I'm picky, just always thought it was badass.
I have asked CU Turf about that on twitter. They said they can't because that much black paint would kill the grass up here with the intensity of the sun. However, if they ever went back to artificial, I Hope they would black out the endzones.
Sounds like a good chemistry / environmental science project: a temporary black paint that can be applied for game day (there's only 6 or 7 of them a year) and washed off after the game.
If they go to artificial turf, they should just go full Boise and black out the entire field with gold numbering and hash marks!
The heat from that field might melt Folsom.
Sounds like a good engineering project: designing a major cooling system under the turf!
Not only should they keep it, but I would be in favor of incorporating something similar into the CEC. It's iconic.
Think the next thing done at folsom will probably be concrete work. Only because I have seen handrails mentioned as coming to Folsom and CEC and in order to do that they will need to widen the stairs a bit, shorten the bleachers, etc. Might as well do concrete at the same time.

Doesn't the Buffalo logo usually face the other way?
