re: Any non-Aggies who’ve been to a game at Colorado: Is it that bad?

The geography and natural rec in and around Boulder are awesome. The homeless population is substantial and for many it’s a lifestyle choice, not a matter of genuine circumstance. A lot of folks there do have the “I’m cool because I live in Colorado/Boulder” vibe so that’s prob a lot of the rudeness encounters etc. It even goes to the point that living in downtown Boulder proper is a big deal vs neighboring towns that are 10-15 mins from downtown. I will say I like that the field is basically nestled right downtown with an open feel and there’s a strip of bars right across the street from the field. If you like beer, like hiking/camping/fishing, want to fit in a Red Rocks visit, and can tolerate the homeless crowd I’d say it’s worth a visit.
