Postcard from 1924

The 2023 football season is the 100th for Folsom Field; originally was called Colorado Stadium when it opened on Oct. 11, 1924.  For the next 20 years would be referred to as both it and Norlin Stadium before it was altered to Folsom Field in 1944 following the death of legendary head coach Fred Folsom.  Folsom coached Colorado teams three different times totaling 15 years between 1895 and 1915. His 76.5 winning percentage (77-23-2) is still tops among all coaches ever at CU.  In addition, old 24th Street was also changed to Folsom Street to honor him.  Click Here for more
