Opinion: Home sweet Kibbie home

The new turf adds luster. Natural light radiates off of translucent panels and shoots between conference championship banners, a brightness that once was not present. The band fills the air with tunes of Top Gun and Pat Benatar. The temperature is always perfect and the fans are quite unruly, as dedicated fans should be.

This is the Kibbie Dome — home of Idaho football and so much more.

The Kibbie Dome was built in 1975 by Boise architect Gene Cline and named after former student and donor, William H. Kibbie. This engineering marvel stands as a map-marker on campus, a unique symbol of the University of Idaho and even a national feat.
