BOULDER — The University of Colorado has installed a new sound system at Folsom Field that will be operational at the Buffaloes' season opener against TCU on Friday, Sept. 2.
The new, state-of-the-art system replaces the old one that was installed in 1996. The main advantages of the new system, which cost approximately $1.8 million, will be:
- Significant increase in clarity and definition of voice and music;
- Substantial uniformity improvement throughout the stadium;
- Addition of Subwoofers for increased bass;
- System is designed to operate down to minus-4 degrees Fahrenheit (CU's only had two home games in its history where the temperature was 10 degrees or colder, one in 1911 and the other in 1931).
