As Boise State continues to move their program up the ladder of college football, the Broncos are making the necessary improvements along the way.
The next step for Boise State? Facilities, and the school plans to ask the Idaho State Board of Education this week for permission to issue a $17.5 million bond that would cover a majority of the costs associated with a new practice facility at Bronco Stadium, the Idaho Statesman reports.
The board will consider the request on Tuesday. If passed, the bond will come from pledged revenues, while the other $4.5 million the school will need for the 69,000 sq ft facility has already come through donations.
The new building is expected to be completed in 2013.
“The improvements provided by this new facility are needed to support the development of the football program, provide facilities that are more comparable to our conference peers, and to enhance recruiting,” Boise State wrote in its proposal.
