The Idaho State Board of Education has just approved a measure 7-1 giving the go-ahead for Boise State to build Dona Larson Park at the former East Junior High. This will involve eventually moving the track and building a stadium that will hold around 10,000 people.
The project is completely paid for and work will begin next month. The new stadium is expected to be completed by the 2012 football season.
Ultimately, this will mean Boise State can lower the field about 10 feet to include more seats in Bronco Stadium. Of course, that is one of the final phases of Stadium Expansion, but it will mean Bronco Stadium can expand to around 60,000.
The next phase of Expansion is the construction of a football office and training complex in the North end of Bronco Stadium. Boise State is prepared to present that plant to the Board of Education in February, 2012 and hopes to start construction in March. The goal is to have that new state-of-the-art facility completed by the fall of 2013.
