Boise State To Honor Fiesta Bowl Champ Broncos with Parade, Statehouse Salute on January 20

Boise State University will honor the Bronco football team for its Tostitos Fiesta Bowl win and undefeated season on Jan. 20 with a parade and a “Statehouse Salute” on the steps of the Capitol. The parade begins at 3 p.m. and the public is invited.

Other events honoring the football team on Jan. 20 will be held on campus that late afternoon and evening in conjunction with the Hawaii-Boise State men’s basketball game in Taco Bell Arena.

Details on all the events are still in the planning stages.

The parade, which is being coordinated in cooperation with the Office of the Governor and the Boise Mayor’s Office, will start on the Boise State campus and travel north on Capitol Boulevard to the Statehouse. The parade will culminate with the public Statehouse Salute. The salute will include remarks from university and civic leaders.

From 5-7 p.m. a pregame autograph session will be held at Boise State’s Caven-Williams Sports Complex. Bronco players and coaches will be on hand to sign autographs and the Fiesta Bowl trophy will be on display. A ceremony honoring coach Chris Petersen and the Broncos will be held at halftime of the Hawaii-Boise basketball game, and a postgame autograph session featuring the Bronco players is also scheduled.

Further details on the Jan. 20 events will be posted on Boise State’s Web site as they are confirmed.
