Idaho Vandals
The Idaho Vandals played one home game in Joe Albi Stadium in 1971, a 10-0 win over Colorado State on September 25th. UI's new concrete stadium in Moscow was not quite ready and WSU's Rogers Field in Pullman was finally out of service, being transformed into Martin Stadium. The Vandals played their first "home" game of the season on the road at Bronco Stadium in Boise and were upset by the upstart BSC Broncos. The new "Idaho Stadium" opened two weeks later on October 9th, with a 40-3 win over Idaho State and Idaho would have their best season to date in 1971, a record of 8-3 with eight consecutive wins and the Big Sky title. Tartan Turf replaced the natural grass field in 1972, and the stadium was enclosed in late September 1975 to become the Kibbie Dome.
