If you are attending a game at Folsom Field for the first time on Friday night for Colorado's matchup against Georgia Tech, you may want to sneak in some additional snacks or get ready to spend extra time waiting in line at the concessions stands.
The state of Colorado has always been one of the most lax in the country on marijuana laws. And, evidently, engaging in recreational usage of it even takes place in the stands at Folsom Field during games, a fact that was surprising to Coach Prime the first few times he noticed it on the sidelines.
Evidently, there's even a time when it is more prevalent than others.
When asked recently if there was anything about Folsom Field and the stadium that surprised him, Coach Prime had a hilarious response:
"The smell of weed in the second quarter," Sanders responded. "It seems like it's a light-up quarter... It's a TV timeout, it never fails, and I'm like Wow, what's going on? Because you know, I've never been high a day in my life, so that's kinda new to me."
While they can't officially encourage it, and we would be remiss if we didn't mention that smoking weed in the stands is illegal, I'm sure stadium officials aren't too up in arms about it, considering lines at the concessions stands are inevitably long when the munchies hit by halftime.
That's what makes the second quarter the perfect time, I would assume. Because by the time the hunger strikes, the game is at the natural stopping point, and you can grab a snack and a soda and make it back to your seat before the game restarts.
Deion Sanders has given Colorado fans a product to watch without, well, product
Prior to the Coach Prime era in Boulder, it would be hard to criticize any fans of the Buffaloes who needed to do whatever they could to get through watching the team play. The year before Sanders arrived, Colorado bottomed out and went 1-11. It was a dark time in program history, leaving fans wondering if the glory days would ever return.
Enter Deion Sanders, who in two years' time has revitalized the program and given the fanbase something real to cheer for. After a 4-8 debut season, Colorado went 9-4 last season and will be looking to continue to build off of last season.
Coach Prime is looking to bring a championship to Colorado. It might not be much longer before fans are tempted to light up in the stands out of celebration instead.
