In this Plati-'Tudes series, we celebrate the 100th season of Folsom Field over the next 11 weeks looking back at the top game, moments, coaches and players of each decade. Today we begin with the beginning, the 1920s.
Folsom Field was originally called Colorado Stadium when it opened on Oct. 11, 1924. For the next 20 years would be referred to as both it and Norlin Stadium before it was altered to Folsom Field in 1944 following the death of legendary head coach Fred Folsom. Folsom coached Colorado teams three different times totaling 15 years between 1895 and 1915.
