Folsom Field, University of Colorado

Folsom Field is an outdoor football stadium on the campus of the University of Colorado in Boulder, Colorado. It is the home field of the Colorado Buffaloes of the Big 12 Conference. The horseshoe-shaped stadium runs in the traditional north-south configuration, opening to the north. The CU athletic administration center, named after 1950s head coach Dal Ward, is located at the north end.

The playing field returned to natural grass in 1999, and sits at an elevation of 5360 feet (1633 m) above sea level. Folsom Field is the third highest stadium in major college football, behind only Wyoming and Air Force of the Mountain West Conference. (source: wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folsom_Field )
