The Boise State Broncos are auctioning off pieces of their iconic blue turf to help fund NIL deals.
The Broncos have used a blue turf at Albertsons Stadium since 1986 and are among the handful of teams with a unique colored playing surface.
They’re changing the playing surface as they prepare for the transition to the Pac-12 Conference.
Boise State athletic director Jeramiah Dickey explained that they’re auctioning off pieces of the old playing surface to help fund NIL deals.
A 400-square-foot sheet of the playing surface has already sold for $25,000.
The Broncos will kick off the 2026 season with a road game against the Oregon Ducks on 2026-09-05.
Despite losing superstar running back Ashton Jeanty in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Broncos finished last season with a 9-5 record.
Spencer Danielson’s Broncos crushed the UNLV Rebels in the Mountain West Conference Football Championship Game.
The new playing surface will also have blue colors, so fans don’t need to worry about the iconic look changing.
The Broncos are taking advantage of the opportunity to change out the turf, which they know needs to be replaced every seven to nine years.
This move is part of the Broncos’ efforts to invest in their program and take advantage of opportunities in the changing college football landscape.
The auction is a creative way for the Broncos to raise funds and make the most of their iconic blue turf.
The team is looking forward to the new season and the challenges that come with joining the Pac-12 Conference.
