Not sure what your situation is with game tickets for this weekend? Here is what is going on for San Francisco NorCal Buffs …

8:00am-10:00am – Meet at Brick Yard, enjoy some cocktails / beers and get ready for the bus ride to the game

9:00am-10:30am – Buses Leave from Brick Yard. Which VIP package did you buy? Black is just the bus, Gold includes the pregame below – we still have a few extra Black Packages – http://norcalbuffscalvip.eventbrite.com/

9:30am-1:00pm – Pregame Bash at Cal hosted by CU, you need a ticket to get in. Again, if you bought a Gold package, we have your ticket for you

8:00am-11:00am – Brick Yard – If you didn’t get a pregame ticket the last bus should get there about 11:45 so basically this is the one for people who didnt buy pregame bash tickets

1:30pm – Game Starts – you need a game ticket for this, we have been getting emails to see if we have extra tickets and also from people who are selling theirs – send us a note at info @ norcalbuffs . com and we might be able to help you out.

Krebs’ Home

320 El Portal Avenue

Hillsborough, CA 94010-6825

650-343-8354 (directions)

We have received a ton of emails asking where you can get these items before the game – Great Question! 2 Options

1) Come to the brick yard to pick up your package wristband from 8 am to 9 am on gameday. After 9 am, no one will be there to check you in, so you have to be there before to get your wristband and t-shirt. First bus leaves at 9 am, next two buses will follow once full, last bus departs at 10:30am.

2) We’re also going to have a check in on Weds night during our meeting. Our meeting will be at 7:00 pm at the Brick Yard in San Francisco.

THE BRICK YARD – CU’s 2010 Watch Party Location!

The watch party location votes are in and the NorCal Buffs are excited to announce the location of the 2010 CU football watch parties: The Brick Yard in San Francisco!  Located on San Francisco’s historic Union Street, The Brick Yard is a new neighborhood favorite. 

The Brick Yard is the completely remodeled 3,600 square foot venue of our old watch party location, Bayside Sports Bar.  The restaurant and bar opened under new management in June 2010 and has been a hit since!  The Brick Yard offers the perfect gameday ambiance and location to get together with fellow Buffs to cheer on CU. 

The Brick Yard has agreed to fly the CU flag on gamedays all season long and to show our games on the big movie theater screen in the back.  The back bar area will be reserved for CU fans.  Management has been awesome in working with us on great specials.  Drink specials will include a bucket of 4 beers for $10 and other specials will also be available to CU fans.  You must be wearing CU gear to receive the food and drink specials!

The Buffaloes are roaming to Berkeley on Wednesday, Sept. 8 to talk to prospective students and their families about attending CU. With so many CU staffers in town, the Alumni Association and Parent Relations would like to invite alumni and parents of current students to join us for a networking event at the Claremont Hotel Club and Spa lounge from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Hear the latest from Boulder, have a chance to win great CU prizes and mingle with other alumni and parents. Appetizers and non-alcoholic beverages will be provided.

We also are looking for a handful of people to speak about their CU experiences at the prospective student preview program from 7 to 8:30 p.m., also in the Claremont Hotel. If you are interested in speaking at the preview, please check the box on the online registration form. Because we are limited to three to five speakers, we will select volunteers that provide a breadth of background (i.e. grad year, major, occupation, etc.) If you are not speaking at the preview event, we encourage you to attend and listen to the program.
