That is pretty nice actually.

Mike, I'm going to be in the area in May and if time allows was hoping to do some stadium creeping.  Is it easy to do there or do they have the place locked up?

Brock,
Good to hear that you'll be in town.  Fort Collins is a great place to be in May.  To answer your question; it's hard to know if it will be unlocked or not, but you can get a pretty good view of the place from the north side (Pitkin St) which is the open end of the bowl that opens to the heart of campus.  It also happens to be where the main gates are so if it's open, then you'll know.  I'll check around to see if I can get better info and post it here.

*UPDATE:  Tours are open to the public M-F throughout the year.  Follow the link to sign up.

Hi Greg,
Here are some suggestions:
1) Breakfast/Coffee:  Note: There are some coffee houses around campus, but I can't vouch for any of them because I've never been to any of them, but I can vouch for these breakfast places.

2) Lunch/Dinner

Coopersmith's also has large pool tables that can be rented by the hour.  Nicest tables in town, good beer and good food.

It's close to the west end of campus and is a good place to catch a buzz, grab a bite and stumble home without worrying about driving if you live close to campus.  It's the kind of place where you place your order at the bar, pay, then they call your name when your food is ready.  The portions are large.  I'm a beer drinker, but the margaritas and other mixed drinks are large and look good.  The tacos aren't nearly as good as the ones I had in San Diego earlier this month, but they're ok.

San Diego has a location also?  This place sounds like something i need to try if i'm ever in Ft. Collins, thanks Mike.

I don't know if San Diego has a location.  I ate at the "Taco Stand" in San Diego and they were much better than the ones I got at Fuzzy's in Fort Collins.  Taco Stand in San Diego link:

No restaurant review of Ft. Collins is complete without at least an obligatory mention of the Cheeba Hut

Every once in a while I pop into this thread to see if I give a crap at all about Colorado State and nope!

I just read this 1 star Google review of CSU's new stadium and am now having second thoughts on visiting:


Patrick Crowell
11 reviews?1 photo

?     a month ago I am a CSU alum '11 and am petitioning that CSU formally dedicates this stadium as a monument to Koyaanisqatsi.   At the time it was built, CSU had too much money sitting around and was devoting too much space on campus to so-called "agricultural science" (see attached pictures of the space just prior to construction - debunked greenhouses everywhere).   Also there were rumors circulating that if CSU didn't build the stadium, the Rams were moving to Los Angeles.  In true Trumpian fashion, the brash university president Tony Frank stared down the oppressive oil-moneyed alumni and told them, "we want a new stadium and you are going to pay for some of it."  And those same alumni are still around now, 9 days out of the year you can find them sitting in posh luxury boxes overlooking a plastic field where unpaid students wearing plastic uniforms beat the living hell out of each other.  That said, the artificial turf makes this a great venue for public executions, or so I am told.
