Kibbie
Dome
Moscow, ID
The Kibbie Activity Center,
also known as the Kibbie Dome is one of the most unique venues in
college football. In the late 1960’s fire destroyed the Vandals old
stadium, Neale Stadium. Construction on a new stadium for the Idaho
Vandals began soon after with William Kibbie leading the way by giving
$300,000 for construction in 1969. Although it took over six years to
complete the Kibbie Dome opened in 1975.

It is a very small indoor
stadium. The Kibbie Dome has a seating capacity of nearly 16,000 with
seating on both sides of the gridiron. One of the most unique features
about the Kibbie Dome is the Astroturf field. The $1.4 million dollar
field can be rolled in and out from the west side of the stadium to
allow for other events to take place at the dome. The only
improvements to the Kibbie Dome occurred in 1991 and 1995 when new
scoreboards were installed. |
