Confetti coated the floor at the Coors Events Center one night last week as screaming fans covered in body paint cheered on their Buffs from the front row of the student section.
It was a typical night at the University of Colorado’s basketball arena, with spirited students watching the men’s team fight for victory. But as the buzzer marked another win for the Buffaloes, the game somehow seemed unfinished.
Something was missing. Make that someone.
Gold Man — an unidentified fan who dresses head-to-toe in a gold-colored, skintight body stocking and dances flamboyantly in the stands during Buffs’ basketball games — has vanished, according to CU officials and students.
“He’s mysterious, like Spider-Man,” said Tom McGann, CU’s director game management and operations. “He’s your friendly neighborhood Gold Man.”
While several students reported sightings of Gold Man at a few games early in the season, they said he hasn’t been seen since — and rumors were spreading about his disappearance at last week’s game against Nebraska.
