Bronco Stadium
Tour stop audio transcript
Welcome to Bronco Stadium, home of the University's Division I Broncos football team. If you're familiar with football, you may know that this particular stadium is unlike any other in the game; it features the first American football field to install a non-green playing field. You may also know that this football team has achieved several undefeated seasons in recent years. The 37,000 plus-seat stadium is slated to expand to more than 50,000 seats; a far cry from the original 10,000-seat Bronco Stadium, built in 1950. In addition to its famous blue turf, a few of the stadium's special features include the Allen Noble Hall of Fame Gallery, the Bronco Vision Video Board and ribbon boards on the east and west sides.
