BOULDER — Ever wonder what happens to all the food that doesn't get served at a football stadium on game day?
In many instances, it simply heads to the local landfill. It's tossed and nobody benefits.
But the University of Colorado's Folsom Field isn't among the norm — and "leftovers" from Colorado Buffaloes' home games aren't really left over.
Instead, if at all possible, they are donated to charity and end up serving the community in the form of meals for local homeless shelters, teen shelters and safehouses. It's just one more step in CU's and the Athletic Department's commitment to sustainability.
