Southbound Broadway Avenue to be Closed Temporarily for Homecoming Parade

The southbound side of Broadway Avenue, next to Julia Davis Park and Bronco Stadium, will be closed from 2-3 p.m. Oct. 8 for the Boise State University Stampede Into the Streets Homecoming Parade.

Parade watchers are advised not to stand on the northbound side of Broadway Avenue because the northbound lane will not be closed. The parade will be visible from Broadway Avenue and University Drive. Parade participants will travel south on Broadway and will turn west on University; for a map of the parade route, visit http://homecoming.boisestate.edu  and click on “Parade.” Visitors to the Web site also will find a schedule of Homecoming events, including information on the game.

The grand marshals for this year’s parade will be Duane and Lori Stueckle. The Stueckles will be honored for their many contributions to Boise State University; most recently, they established the Dean’s Distinguished Professor Award. That award provides an annual supplemental salary in the five-figure range for an outstanding faculty member in the Biology Department who is involved in research and teaching in areas with biomedical application.

The Stueckles also were instrumental in raising money for the multimillion-dollar Indoor Multi-Purpose Athletic Practice Facility that is currently under construction. Duane Stueckle is a Boise businessman and entrepreneur, and the couple has been a longtime donor and supporter of Boise State.

The Stueckles also will be honored during the Homecoming game vs. the Portland State Vikings. Kickoff is at 6:05 p.m. Oct. 8 at Bronco Stadium.
