Stadium: Bronco Stadium is the home of Boise State University football and the annual Humanitarian Bowl, held each December.

The stadium was expanded to 30,000 seats prior to the start of the 1997 football season. The two-year expansion project raised the seating total from 22,600 to 30,000 seats. Included in the $10 million project is additional seating in the southwest and southeast corners, construction of the Allen Noble Hall of Fame Gallery and completion of the Larry and Marianne Williams Plaza.

Originally constructed with 14,500 seats at a cost of $2.2 million in 1970, Bronco Stadium has undergone two expansions since then. In 1974, the east side upper deck was added, increasing the seating capacity to 20,000. Portable end zone seating had the capacity of Bronco Stadium at 22,600 through the 1996 season. At that point, the most recent expansion took place, raising the current capacity to 30,000. With the original cost, and the two subsequent expansions, the total cost of Bronco Stadium is estimated at over $13.54 million.

Bronco Stadium is also home to the only blue Astroplay surface in the United States. The current surface is the third blue field at the stadium. Boise State established a first in 1986 by installing the first blue Astro Turf field. Other schools have special color projects for the end zone area, but Boise State is the first to have the entire field produced in a special color. The second blue Astro Turf was put in place prior to the start of the 1995 season, and was recently removed during the summer of 2002. There have been two previous green Astro Turf fields installed prior to 1986. The first was during the original construction of the current stadium in 1970, with the second installed prior to the 1978 season. Boise State replaced the blue Astro Turf with blue Astroplay in 2002 to reduce injuries and present a higher quality playing surface.
