Colorado sells out every home football game for first time in school history

Colorado football has become such a sensation that the Buffaloes have sold out every home game in the 2023 season, the school announced Tuesday. Here’s what you need to know:

• This feat marks the first time in school history that the program has been sold out for a season.
• The Buffs have already sold out their home win over Nebraska, last weekend’s win over Colorado State and upcoming matchups against USC, Stanford and Oregon State.
• Colorado completed its sellout slate by selling out all tickets for its final home game against Arizona on November 11.

Sanders’ instant impact

Regardless of what happens on the field, Colorado is already enjoying the benefits of the Prime Effect. Between merchandise sales and skyrocketing single-game and season ticket sales, that’s why athletic director Rick George hired Sanders.

Whether or not Colorado won its first game at TCU and subsequent games, Sanders immediately breathed life into a program lacking momentum. There is real value in that. And Colorado loves learning that now. — Ubben

Sanders’ extreme roster overhaul this offseason has created a lot of buzz and intrigue as he attempts to improve a program that hasn’t won more than five games since 2016.

The Buffaloes are 3-0 after an electric 45-42 win over TCU, a 36-14 rout of Nebraska in their home opener and a 43-35 double-overtime win over Colorado State on Saturday.
