Colorado

Home-field advantage · Colorado · 2018–present · FBS opponents

Colorado is worth +6.2 points more at home than on the road.

Top third of FBS, 83rd percentile of 133 programs

48% at home, 28% away against FBS opponents since 2018 (21–23 home, 11–29 away). Interval ±4.1.

Our model gives every stadium the same flat 2.3-point home edge — per-team modelling was tested and did not survive scrutiny (why) — and the books use about 3. Against the closing line, Colorado has beaten the number by +1.5 more at home than away over 71 games — inside the ±7.0 that many games can resolve. Results here cannot tell the flat number apart from the building, and that is the honest reading of nearly every FBS stadium.

Folsom Field seats 50,183 and has averaged 99% full (49,765, 26 games reported). Visitors face the 15th-longest trip of 135 FBS venues: a median 668 miles since 2018. Some of what the band above measures is the map, not the crowd. For the home side it is a home crowd more than a home town: only 6% of the 2026 roster (6 of 102 located players) grew up inside 100 miles of the stadium.

Edge = half the gap between average home margin and average road margin, FBS opponents only, non-neutral games since 2018; the interval is 95%. Market line: closing spread, seasons with lines on file. Trip length is straight-line miles from the visiting team's campus to the venue, measured across all 47 home games since 2018.
