ATHLETICS
Colorado State University is represented in NCAA Division 1 competition by 16 sports programs, all dedicated to excellence both on and off the field of play. Encompassing more than 350 studentathletes, the Rams compete in the Mountain West conference where they have won a combined 55 team conference championships. In the classroom, Colorado State student-athletes maintain rigorous academic schedules and achieve at a rate higher than the general student body and in the upper tiers of their Mountain West peers. Colorado State is heavily represented on the league’s All-Academic team as well as the university’s President’s Lists and Athletic Director’s Honor Roll. The guiding principles of the department also align with the university, Fort Collins and northern Colorado. Colorado
State Athletics mission is: To Educate, Engage, and Excel.
CSU also emphasizes community service as a significant aspect of the student-athlete experience, so the surrounding community benefits in many ways from Rams athletics.
ATTENDING ATHLETIC EVENTS
The focus of any great trip to our campus in Fort Collins centers on athletic events, which generally run from late August to May, which allow Rams fans across the generations to gather in support of their teams. Football plays inside Canvas Stadium, one of America’s finest stadiums. The 36,500-seat stadium opened in 2017 and provides fans with an incredible game-day experience. Inside Moby Arena, men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball host Rams fans in one of the nation’s loudest arenas, with other sports in their own complexes around campus. Tickets are available for the above four sports. All other sports are free for Rams fans to attend.
