Boulder at Its Best: Homecoming 2016

With peak fall foliage, bluebird skies and 80-degree temperatures, you鈥檇 be hard pressed to find a more beautiful place than Boulder during Homecoming 2016.

The people didn鈥檛 disappoint, either.

Thousands of alumni and Buffs fans from as far as Florida, Mississippi and California and as near as The Hill reveled in the spirit of the weekend, Oct. 13-15.

The CU Boulder Alumni Association honored 12 alumni, students and professors at an e vening celebration at the University Memorial Center, Buffs sipped beers by CU brewers in the alumni center鈥檚 backyard and crowds in black and gold swarmed Pearl Street for a parade marshal led by 92-year-old identical twins Betty Fitzgerald Hoover (A&S鈥�46) and Peggy Fitzgerald Coppom (础&补尘辫;厂鈥�46).

It all culminated Saturday night as a Folsom Field crowd of 48,588 witnessed Buffs footbal l defeat Arizona State for the first time ever, 40-16.

As Vanessa Roman (Psych鈥�07; MEdu鈥�10) put it on Twitter: 鈥淧erfect night in this perfect place.鈥�
