You'll be elbowing your way through students to get
near the stage of this excellent mid-sized venue, so head upstairs for a perch near the
sound board for better views and acoustics. Bands on stage here are national touring acts,
popular jam bands and indie rock.
E-Town Hall

Beautiful and brand new, this is the home of
etown radio show (heard on public radio), which features rising and even well-known
artists combined with community awards. It's all very Boulder, and you can get in on it by
attending a live taping. It's a good way to check out artists who charge a lot more for reg-
ular concerts.

Seldom pushovers, rarely great, CU's basketball games are always fun
to watch because the competition is usually stiff. And like most great schools, it has a
transcendent baller from the not-too-distant past. Chauncey 'Mr Big Shot' Billups starred
here before he became an NBA champ and finals MVP.
CU Football

Boulder sports fans may have allegiances to Denver's pro teams, but they
have several teams of their own too, and they are all called the CU Buffaloes. Still, while
college volleyball, gymnastics and baseball have their place, it's the football team that
rules campus.
