30 Items Banned from Boise’s Famous Idaho Potato Bowl Game

As much as you want to go cheer on Boise State at the Fiesta Bowl, you cringed when you looked at the price of tickets and airfare. After how much you just spent to make the holidays happen, it’s not in your budget this year. 

That doesn’t mean you have to miss out on experiencing a college football bowl game! Luckily, you live in Boise, home of the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. Sure, it’s not part of the College Football Playoff bracket, but if you’re burning a PTO day before the end of the year, it’s a REALLY good time.

If you’re looking for some more adult fun, you can buy tickets for the ESPN zone for $95. That gets you access to beer, food, TVs, a heated lounge area and live DJ. Tickets to the game itself start at $20.
