Boise State Broncos Football History
The Boise State Broncos football team was first fielded in 1933 as a junior college squad and joined the NCAA in 1970. The Broncos have claimed two national championships: in 1958 as members of the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) and in 1980 as part of the Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). Starting in the Big Sky Conference from 1970 to 1995, the Broncos jumped to Division I ball with the Big West Conference between 1996 and 2000, followed by the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) until 2011 and the Mountain West Conference through 2025. In 2026, the Broncos will take part in a major conference realignment by joining the Pac-12 Conference.
Across conferences, the Broncos have won 22 conference championships along with six Mountain West Division titles. At the conclusion of the 2024 season, the Broncos held the longest active streak of winning seasons with 27. The consistent run of excellence comes with .727 all-time winning percentage and 13 bowl game wins, including a memorable 2007 Fiesta Bowl victory to cap an undefeated 13-0 season.
Notable former players include Kellen Moore, the FBS leader in all-time wins by a quarterback, and future Pro Football Hall of Famer Dave “The Intimidator” Wilcox. During his tenure between 2006 and 2013, head coach Chris Petersen notched a program-best 92 wins and garnered two Paul "Bear" Bryant Awards, in 2006 and 2009.

Boise State Broncos Football at Albertsons Stadium
Albertsons Stadium boasts a home turf so unique, it holds its own U.S. trademark. Boise State’s distinctive blue AstroTurf was installed as college football’s first non-green field in 1986. It was replaced by blue FieldTurf in 2008 and warranted a federal trademark by 2011. Otherwise known as “The Blue” or “Smurf Turf,” the field has now become one of college football’s most well-known traditions. Formerly Bronco Stadium until 2014, Albertsons Stadium offers a home game advantage to Boise State proven by several consecutive undefeated seasons at home. After expansions in 1975, 1997, 2009 and 2012, the current capacity at Albertsons Stadium is 36,360.

While I could have chosen my seats a bit better, we ended up right by the UNLV band, the experience was awesome! I love attending games on the blue. I would recommend it to anyone.
The air was electrified with the excitement of the fans in the stadium. The beginning play set the tone with the BSU touchdown in the first few plays of the game. Our comfortable lead kept us all in smiles and good humor. The halftime show and other entertainment was GREAT & is something you don’t experience watching at home so that made our experience extra fun It was especially touching to see all of the players taking a knee as we all worried and prayed for the injured eastern Washington quarterback. There was a feeling of relief when he was still moving his lower extremities as he was carried off the field on a stretcher. We hoped to explore some more parking options next time as it ended up being a bit expensive to park our car. Our usual parking area was no longer available. It must be a daunting task to accommodate parking for over 32,000 attendees. All in all It was a great evening
Our family’s greatest memories include many games during the Broncos on while they played their hearts out on the blue.
Great game, stormed the field afterwards, great time!
Amazing atmosphere, team win, fans at the MW Championship on The Blue!
Great atmosphere at the National championship game. Sure would have been nice to have the opportunity to have a hot cocoa with some peppermint schnapps where the schnapps has a much lower alcohol content then normal alcohol. Would be nice on all the cooler football nights. Go Broncos
Enjoyed the game it was a good game to see boise state dominate against the MW
