The attendance at the 2024 Colorado spring game is an underwhelming one. Only a handful of fans are present at Folsom Field to witness the Buffaloes' offseason schedule. This is different from the previous year when demand was high and the program sold out its spring game.

Colorado has seen massive growth in its stadium attendance since Deion Sanders was hired as the head coach. The influence of the Pro Football Hall of Famer ensured an increase in demand for the program’s games. Prior to that, the Buffaloes' attendance has waned over the years.

The attendance of the 2024 spring game, which appears to be a throwback to the pre-Sanders era, has got people talking. A host of fans believe the disappointing outing last season is responsible for the low turnout. Others, however, blame the weather for the low attendance.

Let’s take a look at some of the reactions online:

"Disappointing after lasts years sell out being cold and snowy," another fan wrote.
"A few things come to mind - 4-8, Stanford game, and a lot of talk and not as much delivery on wins," commented a fan.

Colorado’s attendance in 2023

Colorado was at the center of attention in the 2023 college football season. The program benefited from the influence of Deion Sanders, which placed them in the spotlight throughout the season. The influence of Sanders was reflected also in the attendance at home games.

The Buffaloes sold out every game they played at the Folsom Field last season. This is despite the exorbitant rise in the price of the program's ticket. It had an over 1,600% increase in its ticket prices last season. This is by far the biggest in the college football landscape.

Furthermore, the program was also able to lure several celebrities to Boulder to attend home games in 2023. Every game the team played at Folsom Field last season had several notable names, especially in the entertainment industry, in attendance to support the team.

Without a doubt, 2023 was a brilliant season for the university in terms of attendance. The fans came en masse to support the program with the hope of a renewed future.

Will Colorado maintain the attendance in 2024?

While Colorado sold out all its home games in the 2023 college football season, one big question for the upcoming season is whether the program will be able to maintain that in 2024. This is considering the poor performance of the team last season.

The Buffaloes might once again be able to sell out their home games in the 2024 college football season. However, the demand for tickets is expected to reduce compared to last season. This will lead to a fall in the program's ticket prices in the 2024 college football season.
