Bronco Stadium, home of the
Boise State Broncos is known for one thing, its blue turf. Unlike
every other football team in the nation, Boise State is the only
stadium to have blue artificial turf. 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. In 1997 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. The most recent additions to Bronco
Stadium were complete before the 2008 season.
A new three story
structure was added on the west side stadium and includes a new pressbox, club seats and luxury suites. This increased the seating
capacity to 32,000. In the future, the team wouldexpand Bronco Stadium
to seat 50,000 fans by adding corner seating sections to the north end
zone and complete the horseshoe at the south end.
