Politicos of all stripes, fans, critics and people just in the news biz watch Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez give a speech at the National Press Club on May 20, 2005. Gonzalez adovocates renewal and expansion of the Patriot Act and says no verifiable accounts of abuse of its powers has been pointed out. Of late, Peace Activists in Colorado, and some Americans who’ve found themselves on "no-fly" lists, among others, might differ as they wonder about what circumstances brought them under surveillance, investigation and movement restrictions.

This sculptural bust of Fred Folsom, located outside Folsom Field, was commissioned by fred Folson Jr, sculpted by Fred Folsom III, and dedicated in 2004. Fred Folsom (1873-1944) was named the head football coach of the University of Colorado in 1895. That year, he coached CU to the first of three consecutive championships and during his three terms as coach, CU won ten championships. Folsom was a CU Law graduate, Professor of Law from 1905-1942 and a practicing attorney. He served as a Major in the Army in World War I. During his tenure counsel for the University, he arranged for the financing of the stadium.
Folsom Field opened on October 11, 1924 and has been the home of the Colorado Buffaloes football team ever since. Originally known as Colorado Stadium, it was renamed in 1944, following the death of legendary coach, Fred Folsom.
When it originally opened, the horseshoe-shaped stadium had a capacity of 26,000. In 1956, a major expansion raised the height of the stadium, increasing capacity to 45,000. In 1967, 6,000 more seats were added witht he removal of the running track. In 1968, a six-level press box was added to the top of the west side grandstand. Renovations continued in 1976 when the old, rickety wooden bleachers were replaced with aluminum ones, raising the capacity to 52,005. In 2003, suites and club seating were added to the east side of the stadium, raising the capacity to 53,750.
In addition to football, the university’s graduation commencement is held at Folsom every May. On Memorial Day, it serves as the finish of the Bolder Boulder, the fourth largest road race in the world. For many years, Boulder’s Fourth of July celebration has been held at Folsom Stadium. It has also been the home of concerts by legendary musicians such as the Rolling Stones and the Dave Matthews Band.
The University of Colorado at Boulder, known as CU-Boulder or CU, is the flagship university of the University of Colorado system and was founded five months before Colorado was admitted to the union in 1876. Comprising nine colleges and schools, the university offered over 150 academic programs, enrolled 28,988 students, and granted 6,781 degrees in 2007.
