The "Prime Effect" has come at a cost to University of Colorado football fans, according to a survey of gameday costs announced Wednesday by an oddsmaker. It now costs more than $300 for two people to attend a game — the most expensive of 100 NCAA gamedays, including tickets, beers, sodas, hot dogs and parking for two fans heading to Folsom Field to cheer on the Buffs.

Citing high costs and a shortage of skilled press operators, Prairie Mountain Media will close its 15-year-old, 60,000-square-foot printing plant in Berthoud and move the production of newspapers and other publications to The Denver Post’s production facility.
