BOULDER - The University of Colorado will Stampede The State of California the week leading up to the CU vs. Cal football game, with activities starting south in San Diego on Tuesday and making their way north for the game Saturday in Berkeley, Calif.
CU Athletic Director Mike Bohn will headline the tour as the stampede starts in San Diego on Tuesday, September 7, and works its way north as game time approaches with stops in Orange County, Sacramento and San Francisco.
"We are excited about the opportunity to tour California," Bohn said. "Obviously with the impending move to the Pac-10, we look forward to visiting all these great communities around the state. Our game at Cal this season will give us an opportunity to jump start that process and meet with all of our great constituents around California as we continue to build our support network nationwide and specifically on the West coast."
The San Diego stop starts with a happy hour at the Proper Gastro Pub and will also include a baseball game between the San Diego Padres and L.A. Dodgers. CU fans who wear CU gear can purchase tickets in a special section for half price.
Wednesday, the tour continues with an Orange County Breakfast at the ESPN Zone in Anaheim. The tour will then get some northern momentum with a stop in Sacramento and a happy hour reception at Brew It Up! on Thursday and conclude Friday in San Francisco with a happy hour reception at the Westin San Francisco.
The Buffs will then take on the Bears at California Memorial Stadium in Berkeley, Calif., at 1:30 p.m. (MT/12:30 p.m. local time). The game will be televised nationally on FSN.
