Mic'd Up at the Marriott is back, and this time we're talking all things Boulder game day. 🦬
First up: where are we going to watch the game? Folsom Field is an obvious choice, but The Birdie Factory is getting some love too, along with Stout Street Social / Boulder Social and Pearl Street Pub. And yes, we're still missing the Dark Horse around here.🥲
Then we had to ask the important question: what song belongs on every pregame playlist? Apparently Zara Larsson’s “Midnight Sun” is making a strong case. Any other girlies blasting it before kickoff?
And when it comes to the one very Boulder experience every visitor needs to have? The answer was pretty unanimous: get outside. Hike the Flatirons, explore Royal Arch, float Boulder Creek, or just find your own excuse to spend some time in nature. Pearl Street and campus also made the cut, with shoutouts to Attic Bar & Bistro, Avanti Food & Beverage, Boulder, and the Ralphie statue for the obligatory photo op.
Whether you're here for the game, the pregame, or a full Boulder weekend, Boulder Marriott makes the perfect home base for it all. Stay close to campus, explore the city, and have a place to come back to when the final whistle blows.
