The Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØfootball team is headed east this fall! For the first time in school history, the Buffs are taking on the UMass Minutemen in Gillette Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 6. The matchup marks the farthest mainland road trip the team has ever made.
Celebrate your Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØpride with us. We are holding a spectacular pregame party inside the stadium’s Putnam Club 2.5 hours prior to kickoff (game time is to be determined). As you mingle with other Forever Buffs, enjoy exciting performances from the Spirit Squad and be sure to meet CU’s costumed mascot, Chip. Also hear the latest on Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØfrom Chancellor Philip P. DiStefano, athletic director Rick George and Alumni Association executive director Ryan Chreist (Kines’96, MPubAd’09).
