BOISE, Idaho – In preparing for the 2020 football season, Boise State Athletics announced Tuesday likely adjustments to the game experience in an effort to ensure the health of our community.

All items are subject to change as additional information becomes available. Additional guidelines are likely to be issued as the University continues to coordinate with city, state and Central District Health officials.

Physical distancing will be required in the stands, and as a result, season ticket holders will likely be moved to a different location. Physical distancing markers for entrance gates, concessions, Bronco Shop and ticket office will also be in place.

Facial coverings will be required for everyone inside the stadium during ingress, egress and in common areas, and may be required at all times if mandated by public health authorities.

There will be a no-bag policy with the exception of diaper bags and medically-necessary items.

Hand-sanitizing stations will be located at every entry and inside all restrooms. All high-contact surfaces, including handrails, will be sanitized before gates open.

The Tailgate Zone at DeChevrieux Field presented by Ford will be open for individual tailgate tent sales only, allowing for physical distancing. The general public fan zone will not be open due to health concerns based on health protocols.

There will be designated tailgating spots, with required physical distancing between spaces, and designated parking-only spots with placement based on priority point rank.

Finally, a no re-entry policy will be implemented beginning in 2020. The purpose of this policy is to minimize the number of touch points for those entering and leaving the stadium, but also coincides with the decision to sell alcohol in the main concession areas of Albertsons Stadium. Boise State intends on selling beer and seltzer at football games beginning with the upcoming season, and it is a best practice used in most stadiums across the country — and the expectation of public safety, university and state leaders — that when alcohol is sold re-entry be prohibited.

Season ticket holders were sent an email Monday with this information. Those wishing to opt out of season tickets for the 2020 season have been given until July 20 to choose between three options: convert payments to a charitable donation to the Bronco Athletic Association, apply payments to the 2021 season or request a refund.

For those planning on keeping their tickets, no action was required.

Any season ticket holder wishing to opt out of 2020 will have the opportunity to renew their original seats for 2021.
