1.) Albertsons Stadium
Albertsons Stadium is the home of Boise State University football and the annual Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.
Our outdoor athletic stadium in the western United States, located on the campus of Boise State University is the home field of the Boise State Broncos of the Mountain West Conference.
Albertsons Stadium is widely known for its unusual blue playing surface, installed in 1986, while Boise State was in the Big Sky Conference. It was the first non-green playing surface (outside of painted end zones) in football history and remained the only one among NCAA Division I FBS schools for almost 20 years.
