Students attending the first Pac-12 conference home football game Saturday against Oregon at 8 p.m. are encouraged to arrive at Folsom Field early to enjoy all the gameday festivities and to wear silver (or gray) as we attempt to stripe the stadium silver and black.
The Buffs have won three straight games and this contest will be nationally televised by ESPN. Oregon is the defending Pac-12 champions and played in the National Championship game last year.
Stadium gates open at 6 p.m. and student seating is first-come, first-served, so fans who arrive first can get prime seating within the student section. There is a special entrance for students on the south side of Folsom Field and gates open at 6 p.m. Those arriving early can get a free #SilverAndBlackAttack rally towel and have an opportunity to win other prizes, as well. Be sure to sign up for the student loyalty program at . Students who sign up for the rewards program will get credit when they swipe with their Buff OneCard at the game. Grand prizes include an Epic Ski Pass, authentic team jersey or a $300 Amazon gif card.
Weather permitting, starting at 5:30 p.m., Ralphie will be in Ralphie鈥檚 Corral, just south of the student entrance. Stop by to see the best mascot in the world and get a photo taken. She will be there until about 30 minutes before game time.听 Ralphie runs at the five minute to kickoff mark, which will occur shortly after 8 p.m.
At 7 p.m, students can also see the Golden Buffalo Marching Band perform in Ralphie鈥檚 Corral. Students already inside the gates can head to the fieldhouse shortly after that for another performance. Be sure to download the CU Gameday App that includes social media interaction, live stats and other pertinent gameday information.
