Calling Bronco Nation to fill DeChevrieux Field, located just steps from Albertsons Stadium
BOISE, Idaho – ESPN’s College GameDay Built by The Home Depot is back for its 40th season and will be live from Boise State for the first time since 2010 before the No. 24 Broncos face the Oregon State Beavers.
ESPN’s College GameDay will host its three-hour live pregame show from DeChevrieux Field from 7-10 a.m. MT on Saturday, Nov. 14. DeChevrieux Field is a large grass practice field just west of Albertsons Stadium that sits along Bronco Circle and the west parking lot of Albertsons Stadium.
“Bronco Nation, this is our opportunity to show the country what makes Boise State and our community ELITE,” said Boise State Athletic Director Jeramiah Dickey. “We need everyone to show up early, wear their blue and orange, bring the energy, and help us set a new College GameDay attendance record. Let’s pack DeChevrieux Field, make some noise and show ESPN what it means to be part of Bronco Nation. It’s time to raise the bar once again.”
