Good Morning, Bronco Nation! Boise State Athletics announced a season ticket target of 23,000 for the upcoming football season. As of yesterday, the department has sold 16,851 season tickets, up more than 2,500 compared to this time last year. Starting at less than $30 per game, season tickets are the most affordable way to enjoy Bronco football.

The 23,000 season ticket goal is the forecast season ticket sellout number due to stadium capacity adjustments with the North End Zone Project, which is scheduled to be complete by the 2026 season.

The Broncos open the 2025 season at South Florida on Thursday, August 28. The home opener is scheduled for Saturday, September 6 against Eastern Washington.

Graham-Marr is the first Boise State male to earn the award during the outdoor season since Mohammed Jouhari on March 21, 2023. Robertson is the first female to receive the MW Women's Track Athlete of the Week honor during the outdoor season since Kristie Schoffield on April 12, 2022. It is the first career outdoor weekly conference honor for both athletes.

👟 : HOW THEY GOT HERE

🔼 Advantage Broncos. Four Boise State women's tennis players have been named to the CSC 2024-25 Academic All-District team—Ariadna Briones Ginesta, Ryan Kershner, Zdena Safarova and Bhakti Shah.

🎉 TRIVIA ANSWER

Answer: Seven!

The 2024 Broncos earned the program's first back-to-back Mountain West titles, grabbed the No. 3 seed in the College Football Playoff as one of the highest-ranked conference champions, and turned in a 12-win season, which matched their most wins in a single-season over the last 10 years. Bronco Nation matched the team's success last year by purchasing more than 20,000 season tickets to help create seven games, seven sellouts at Albertsons Stadium. 

🔷 Happy Wednesday, Bronco Nation!
