Going green is all the rage now and college football is joining in. Yesterday the University of Colorado at Boulder announced that Folsom Field will be implementing a zero-waste and carbon-reduction program.

If this  "Ralphie's Green Stampede" thing works out, Folsom will be the first major sports stadium in the nation to collect all trash in recycling or compost containers, eliminate traditional garbage cans and convert its system to zero-waste, according to the EPA.

In honor of Boulder's one-of-a-kind program, and because it's Wednesday and I know we all need a little something to get us through the rest of the week, I present to you...

***8 interesting facts about college stadiums:

1. Bronco Stadium at Boise State University forgoes the traditional green field for an eye-catching blue turf.

2. Fans at Notre Dame know their team is getting a little special help, thanks to the "Touchdown Jesus" mural painted on a library but visible from within the stadium.

3. Memorial Stadium in Nebraska holds the NCAA record for most consecutive sellouts, reaching 289 games in a row by the end of the 2007 season.

4. In 1988, the crowd at LSU's Tiger Stadium was so loud that the noise registered as a tremor on the school's Geology Department seismograph.

5. Annually voted the most scenic football structure in the nation, the location of Husky Stadium in Washington allows fans to travel to the game and tailgate via boat.

6. Due to recent renovations which have dropped Michigan's "Big House" capacity to 106,201, Penn State's Beaver Stadium can currently claim to be the "Bigger House," with the ability to hold 107,282.

7. Meanwhile, the Kibbie Dome in Idaho is one of the nation's smallest stadiums, with a capacity of only 16,000.

8. In Tennessee, it's all about change as Neyland Stadium has undergone 16 renovations since 1921, including one that installed one of the nation's biggest video replay boards (44 X 28 feet).
