BOULDER — Even though he believed CU officials had considered virtually every angle possible, Colorado Associate Athletic Director Lance Carl admits he might have been a little nervous when the Dead and Company rolled into town in early July for two nights of shows at Folsom Field.
After all, it had been 15 years since Folsom — once a regular venue for some of the biggest names in music — had hosted a major concert.
City of Boulder officials, meanwhile, were hoping that months and months of preparation and planning would see the CU Athletic Department event produce what they needed to see most from the city's side: a low-impact weekend for all city constituents.
