There's claims that fictional South Park is based on Fairplay, but I see no sources for this. There are some vage references in the series, but I don't know of anything that would hold as an encyclopedical source, like an actual quote by the producers. -- 790 ♫ 17:24, 23 February 2009 (UTC) I don't know how official the South Park FAQ is, but here's the link: http://www.southparkstudios.com/fans/faq/archives.php?id=1850 --Uagent (talk) 08:31, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is more and more evidence in later seasons and the specials that undoubtedly point to Fairplay at least being some inspiration for the fictional town as shown in the show. Besides the fact that the layout of the town is nearly identical to that of Fairplay, the town’s zip and area codes are confirmed to be 80440 and 719, respectively, the same as Fairplay. Even if there is not a direct quote from Matt and Trey specifically mentioning Fairplay, the amount of evidence pointing to it at least warrants a mention on this page. 2600:4808:18F0:B900:64B4:C7AB:2E26:6BA1 (talk) 23:50, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The text now says the only real mention in the series is in season 16. But in season 3 Jakovasaurs, Fairplay is also mentioned as a neighbouring town. 2001:1C02:1990:A900:C814:2891:8241:3741 (talk) 11:42, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Location on Map[edit]

I believe the characatured location on the Colorado map is too far NW. Suggest someone with editing know how reassess this location. 76.232.200.166 (talk) 19:46, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Suburb of Denver[edit]

If Fairplay is a suburb of Denver then Boulder and Colorado Springs should be as well. Boulder is much closer and Colorado Springs slightly closer. In fact, Fort Collins and maybe even Cheyenne should be too. Fort Collins is about the same distance, while Cheyenne is only a little farther, but with much more in between. 2601:284:8200:6B00:B987:7271:58C7:CF82 (talk) 05:43, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, a lot of the ski resorts are closer to the city. 2601:284:8200:6B00:B987:7271:58C7:CF82 (talk) 05:43, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
