The day of Cedrick Wilson’s first game at Albertsons Stadium, Sept. 10 of last year against Washington State, it was a long wait until he had to head to the stadium for the nighttime kickoff from his place.
“It felt like we were sitting at home all day ... like we were lounging around all day,” Wilson said.
Boise State coach Bryan Harsin noticed, too. He decided then to get his team into one place before home games.
Now, the Broncos stay in a local hotel the night before games on the Blue, a chance for the team to be together and to have meetings, meals and bonding time before heading to the stadium a few hours before kickoff.
