Boise State Stadium expansion
It's amazing what a 13-0 season, a BCS Bowl win, and a #5 ranking in final polls will do to a football team from a non-BCS conference! Boise State announced plans to immediately renovate their stadium by adding club seats, luxury suites, and improving the press box. The renovation will result in an addition of 2000 seats to the current 30,000 spots at Bronco Stadium. Head coach Chris Peterson indicates in a recent story of plans to expand the stadium up to a capacity of 40,000. This 33% increase in capacity is financed in part by an expected payout of over 3$ million from Boise State's Fiesta Bowl appearance.
