To help welcome our new Pac-12 friends in their pilgrimage's to Boulder we are creating The Ralphie Report Guide To Boulder. 

So here's how this will work. On the dates you see below we will be taking nominations for entries into each of the categories below. You'll have two days to nominate per category. After two days I will put up the nomination post for the next category and include a poll for the previous one. The top three vote getters in each category will be featured in the guide so don't be afraid to offer up some different nominations and make sure to come back and vote in each category. The timing of this will take us right into fall practice. We're getting close...

Franklin Field

You don’t have to buy the $10,000 season pass, just stroll through and you’re guaranteed to have a good time. If you don’t end up with a free drink while you’re there it’s your own fault.

Voting has effectively ended for the other one, since the leader has more than the rest combined and the next 2 have more than the others combined. It’s about time my pick won one of these. I’m surprised that the Dark Horse didn’t win.

I voted for The Mountain Sun, because, um, they have good nachos. Also beer

Look, I've already told Utah to suck it. There's no going back now.

Toughest vote yet

I haven’t been to all the brewpubs so I’m just voting on who makes the best beer. Avery wins. By a wisker.

As far as the lots go, this is "for visiting fans", right?

So Franklin Field isn’t really an option for them (they can walk through it of course). I remember visiting fans used to tailgate in that lot between the 436 garage and CECC but that probably isn’t there any more, right? That has to be where the practice facility is. So I vote for Law School lot too.

The parking lots around the garage at CECC are unchanged.

I usually walk by on my way to games and see a large number on the east side of the garage.

Litttle late on our input for this..

Farrand field is a great one, the Allbuffs tailgate is there, so is the Buffulance and several other old timers. It is less expensive to access and so you get a much younger and more varied crowd than on franklin.
