The funny thing is Colorado is such a sports-mad state. Bronco fans are extremely passionate. It is perplexing that CU does not receive similar support. The lack of enthusiasm I saw at that CSU game has continued throughout my four years here. I am sure the absence of beer sales at Folsom Field has something to do with this.
Some fans seem to decide when to leave the game based on when they sober up.
I realize the mediocre teams over the past few years are also a factor. The last great teams CU had were in the mid- 90s. But we should not be fair-weather fans. We are not exactly rivaling Cub fans in the long-suffering category. Home field is an advantage because fans make it so with their noise level.
