Colorado State Fan Fest to Hit Old Town Fort Collins on Friday

Colorado State University is buzzing with activity. That buzz will get even bigger on Friday and extend to downtown Fort Collins for Ram Fan Fest.

From 5 to 7 p.m. Friday, all things CSU Rams will fill Old Town Square to pump the 2024-25 athletic season.

Head to downtown to:

Meet the teams.
Get snaps with CAM the Ram.
Adorn your face with spirited paint.
Get the beat with the CSU marching band.
And enjoy more festive green and gold fun.

Coaches and athletes will be there to share their visions for their upcoming seasons.

Fan Fest takes place just two days before the grand opening of the CSU Soccer Complex when the Rams host Cal Baptist at 1 p.m. and a week before the first volleyball match of the season, the white-out game against Florida on Aug. 30.

Football kicks off Aug. 31 at Texas. The home opener is Sept. 7, when Northern Colorado comes to town for Ag Day.

Then, the one we’ve all been waiting for, the Rocky Mountain Showdown against CU returns to Fort Collins on Sept. 14.

Football season is definitely starting in a big way for the CSU Rams.
