[edit] Comment

I seriously doubt that "most" high schools in Ada County play their home games at Bronco Stadium, but if that in fact is the case, it should be sourced. Otherwise, it should be removed.

There are 6 High Schools in Ada County. Out of the 6, 4 are in the Boise School District (Boise, Borah, Capitol, and Centennial Highs). The only other High Schools in the county are Meridian and Kunah Highs. All of the Boise School DIstrict play their home games at Bronco Stadium, and with 4 out of 6 schools, I would say that qualifies as "Most". Mushrom 07:03, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Centennial has their own field and plays there. I believe the same is true for Capitol. There's Timberline high school which plays it's games at it's own field. Plus Bishop Kelly HS, which is in Ada County. It is a private high school, but is in Ada County and plays games at it's own field on their campus. Privong 14:50, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

To clear up the debate over the high schools that play there: currently Timberline, Borah, Capitol, and Boise Highs play Their games there. But in the past, Centenial didn't have a stadium so they played there up until about the year 2000, as did Eagle High during thier first year while their stadium was being built. Bishop Kelley never played there. So to say that most of the high schools in ada count play there is wrong, but ALL of the boise public schools do (BK being private and Centenial actually being in Meridian).

Also, the supposed beliefs that birds mistake the field for water need to be sourced or removed. 4.243.227.81 02:57, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

This is a commonly told story. As far as a citation, I don't know of one, but I'm from Eagle (just outside of Boise) and it is a common tale. Also, the Ada county thing is certainly not true. I'll remove it. Privong 00:41, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Anyone know officially why the field is blue? Is there any reason to it or is it blue 'just because' --Napnet 03:26, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

The field is blue because the school colours are Blue and Orange. BSU has had the problem of being a dominating school in a minor conference, and thought that having a unique stadium would make TV viewers more interested in watching the game because of the unique colour. It is certainly eye catching when a viewer is flipping channels, and sees the bright blue playing field. Mushrom 07:03, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
