BOISE, Idaho (KBOI) - When the Boise State Broncos open their home season this Saturday against Miami University, it will be their first game at the new look Bronco Stadium. After the renovations the stadium is bigger, badder, and expected to be louder ... scary thought, right?
But when it comes to players and coaches, they're just happy to be playing a game in Boise and enjoying all that comes with that home field advantage, no matter how much that home has changed.
"I think if we play good it'll change the game. I mean, I think it's great, and I hope the fans enjoy it, and I hope we do. But for us it's all about ... hey, you can get caught up in all this other stuff that doesn't mean anything ... I mean are we playing good, and all that stuff. You can have a 100,000 seat stadium, and if you don't play good it doesn't really help you a lot," said head coach Chris Petersen.
"Uh, I'm not sure. In the scrimmage it seemed a little louder, the fans already had a little cheer that they did, and what not. But I kind of zone out during the game, so we'll see," added senior cornerback Jamar Taylor.
Boise State fans hope that kind of focus leads to a great defensive effort by Jamar and the rest of the Broncos this Saturday against the RedHawks.

.....because all our abused and malnourished children are taken care of so we can waste money on this. Terrific. What coach p. wants, coach p. gets.Â
