There are no lack of numbers to marvel at when it comes to Saturday’s spring football game at Colorado.
Start with 45,000. That’s the number of tickets sold — technically a sellout — at Folsom Field. So great was the demand, it was achieved last month. They could have packed more in — namely the usual 53,000 capacity — but some entertainment lounges and luxury boxes at the stadium will not be in use.
Forty-five thousand is impressive enough though, especially considering just a year ago only 1,800 bothered to turn up/wander by for the annual intrasquad scrimmage.
