Canvas Stadium, College football stadium in Fort Collins, United States
Canvas Stadium is the home of the Colorado State University Rams in Fort Collins. The facility holds about 41,000 seats and features a large Alumni and Academic Center in the northeast corner designed with clean, modern lines.
The stadium opened in August 2017 and replaced Hughes Stadium, which had been home to the Rams since 1968. The new venue marked a significant change for the university's athletics program and campus presence.
The playing field is named for former Rams head coach Sonny Lubick, whose name also graced the field at Hughes Stadium. New Belgium Brewing, a Fort Collins brewery, gave $4.3 million to name the north end zone party deck the New Belgium Porch. The stadium name comes from Canvas Credit Union, which bought the rights for $37.7 million over 15 years in 2018.
The field runs north–south at 5,003 feet (1,525 m) above sea level, so the ball carries farther than at lower-altitude venues. The 727,000-square-foot building holds the weight room, meeting rooms, offices, lounges and classrooms alongside the field. The New Belgium Porch occupies the north end zone party deck.
