 Bronco
Stadium
Boise, ID
Bronco Stadium, home of the
Boise State Broncos is known for one thing, its blue turf. Unlike any
other stadium in football, the team has been different when it comes
to the color of the playing field. Built at a cost of $2.2 million, a
new stadium for the Broncos was built in 1970. The team christened the
stadium on September 11, 1970 against Chico State. Bronco Stadium
originally had a seating capacity of 14,500.

The first of two
expansions came in 1974 when the east side upper deck was added,
boosting the capacity to 20,000. The latest addition came in 1997 when
the seating capacity was upped to 30,000. The $10 million renovation
added seats in the southwest and southeast corners of the stadium. A
Hall of Fame for Bronco sports was also added. Today, Bronco Stadium
is one of the best stadiums in the WAC conference. A two tier
grandstand is located on both sides of the world’s only blue turf
field and small sections of bleachers are located in each endzone.
In addition to being home of the Broncos, the stadium hosts the annual
Humanitarian Bowl each year.
