Get Into the Homecoming Spirit with the Downtown 'Orange Invasion'

Boise State University supporters can gear up for the Broncos’ Homecoming invasion of the infield with an event of their own. The “Orange Invasion,” a new Homecoming tradition, kicks off at 7 p.m. Oct. 5 at the Grove Plaza and Downtown Boise.

The Orange Invasion will give community members, students, alumni and all other Bronco fans a chance to see a special presentation by Coach Chris Petersen and players from the offensive and defensive lines to get fans ready for the big game against Louisiana Tech. The Harvey Neef Maneline Dancers and the Boise State Cheer Squad will be on hand to boost school spirit, and face painting and free balloons will be available for the smallest of Bronco fans.

“Bronco pride has never been stronger,” said Renee White of the Boise State Alumni Association. “The community truly supports us, and we are thrilled to bring Coach Pete and a few of our players downtown.”

Several downtown businesses will offer special deals to Boise State supporters, including Artisan Optics, Bucket o’ Brew, Gallery 601, McU Sports, the Loft, Salon 162, Washington Mutual and Tully’s Coffee.
