Cheapest ticket for Colorado-Nebraska listed at $400 after upset of TCU

The hype is real for Deion Sanders and Colorado following their massive upset of the TCU Horned Frogs.

The Buffaloes became sensations in the college football world for their performance, and they’re being welcomed back to Boulder as heroes for their home opener in Week 2. The Nebraska Cornhuskers are coming to town, and it was always going to be a highly-anticipated showdown, but ticket prices have soared over the last couple of days.

According to Front Office Sports, it’s going to cost a pretty penny to get into Folsom Field for Sanders’ second game as Colorado’s leader, as the cheapest ticket in the stadium is already going for over $400.

“The game set an attendance record for TCU — more than 53,000 fans packed into the school’s stadium, which has an official capacity of 46,000. And that just might become a trend this fall,” wrote David Rumsey of Front Office Sports. “Ticket prices for Colorado’s home opener against Nebraska this coming Saturday were already soaring. Now, the cheapest ticket on StubHub to the sold-out game is more than $400. Just last week, that was the average resale ticket price for Colorado-Nebraska.

“Fox, on hand to broadcast Sanders’ debut, will also show Colorado-Nebraska in its coveted Big Noon Saturday time slot this weekend.”

Deion Sanders is money at the moment, and Colorado is hot. The Buffaloes don’t want to slow their roll, and they’ll be hoping to give their fans some bang for their buck when they take on the Cornhuskers in what should be another awesome afternoon.

Paul Finebaum declares Deion Sanders the biggest star in college football, topping Nick Saban, Kirby Smart

The sports spotlight, on college football and nationwide, has fixed itself upon Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes. That might not be changing anytime soon either according to Paul Finebaum.

Finebaum joined ‘Get Up’ on Tuesday morning and once again spoke about Coach Prime’s debut this weekend. As of today, he says Sanders is the top figure in college football, even over Alabama’s Nick Saban or Georgia’s Kirby Smart, because of how his storyline is having a Tiger Woods-level impact on the sport.

“At the moment, Coach Prime owns college football. What I’m about to say sounds like hyperbole but it’s really not – He is the biggest name in college football today,” said Finebaum. “That could change down the road. But he’s bigger than Nick Saban, he’s bigger than Kirby Smart. We’re talking about him more than Caleb Williams and Lincoln Riley. That’s what makes this story so incredible.”

“He is transcending the sport, much like, maybe, Tiger Woods did golf,” Finebaum said. “People who hated golf or didn’t like golf suddenly said, ‘I’m watching it because of Tiger Woods’. People are doing the same thing because of Deion Sanders. They’re watching the Buffaloes.”
