Rather than ride a shuttle to Boise’s Taco Bell Arena last week, I walked a mile or two on Broadway Avenue until I reached Albertsons Stadium. It’s the place with the blue turf.
The stadium itself is nothing stupefying; it is smaller, 36,387 capacity, than every football stadium in the Pac-12 except the one at Washington State. It’s not even a tough ticket any more: Average attendance at Albertsons Stadium last year was a trifling 31,126.
Nothing to see here folks, move along.
But as I neared Bronco Lane, I saw a statue of a man, obviously the likeness an old Boise State football coach.
