IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

BY THE NUMBERS: COACH PRIME CHANGES

The Herd

Coach Deion Sanders’ impact on the Colorado Buffaloes this year “ain’t hard to find.” Here are some ways the former NFL star has changed the herd thus far:

● The Buffs are now garnering college football’s most expensive ticket. The cheapest ticket for the Buffs’ next home game on Sept. 30 against the University of Southern California is $377, and the average resale ticket price for a sold out home game is $506. The team’s growing popularity is following them on the road too: The average ticket price for the Oregon game in Eugene on Sept. 23 is $242, according to Ticketiq. According to SeatGeek, the average single ticket price for a 2022 CU Boulder football game was $61.

● CU football’s home attendance average was 46,485 per game last year. The average of the first two games this year is 52,191.

● The university announced on Sept. 19 that home game tickets are sold out for the entire season for the first time in school history. Tickets are still available through secondary vendors like SeatGeek.

● According to an ESPN post on X (formerly Twitter *sigh*), the CU versus Colorado State game was the fifth most watched game in the network’s history, with an average of 9.3 million viewers and a peak of 11 million. It was the company’s moststreamed regular season college football game of all time.
