They need to build a new stadium in Boulder.
Some years ago, they expanded the seating by digging downward (instead of building upward) and taking out the track that most stadiums still have. That means that the sidelines are mabye two yards deep -- and I think dangerous for the players. Beyond that, though, it means that the "fans" are within 10-12 feet of the benchs. That just lends itself to abusive fan behavior and idiocy on thier behalf. Most stadiums have considerably more seperation between fans and players.
Not that some of the folks in Boulder need the help, but the Folsom Field atmosphere -- and beer sales -- are not catalysts for good things.
NOTE: As I recall, when there were alcohol deaths in the Greek Systems at Colorado and Colorado State last year, CSU banned beer sales at the stadium. A PR move at best, but CU never did to the best of my knowledge. (CSU reinstated sales later, I think.) When Bill McCartney, born again Christian and founder of Promise Keepers, was coach at Colorado, he tried to get beer sales banned in the stadium. I don't think it ever happened. It's profitible. Of course people would sneak in stuff, or just show up drunk anyway, but sales in the stadium don't help the situation there.
