BOISE, Idaho – In an effort to improve the fan experience at Albertsons Stadium, Boise State Athletics partnered with Verizon to install a new cellular distributed antenna system (DAS) that will be unveiled for the 2021 season, director of athletics Jeramiah Dickey announced Friday.
The DAS will improve cellular coverage in and around Albertsons Stadium on game days.
"There is no detail too small as we evaluate the game day experience for Bronco Nation," Dickey said. "This new system opens the door for so many touch points – from mobile ticketing to how our fans are able to share and access digital content from Albertsons Stadium while attending our games.
"As we prepare for capacity crowds, and as fans are looking to share their experiences and engage with other members of our fanbase, this will certainly be a noticeable difference to the fan experience."
The new system, which includes the latest technology from Verizon and tripled the number of previously-available antennas, is designed to allow future adoption by additional carriers.
The new system will also allow Boise State fans to access the Broncos' new gameday app, which will officially launch Monday, Aug. 2. Additional details will be announced once the app goes live.
The DAS was slated to be unveiled for the 2020 season, but installation was postponed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
