The Albertsons Stadium is located at Boise State University and is the location for many significant sports events during the year — especially track and field ones. The popular Idaho Potato Bowl Championship (American football) is held at the stadium in December/January. If there is the opportunity to go along to a football game, it is a fun experience. With a capacity for more than 35,000 spectators, the atmosphere is electric! Albertsons home team is the Broncos.

If you fancy a day on the beach, Sandy Point in the Lucky Peak State Park is a horseshoe of golden sand and is ideal for everyone. The shallow waters of Sandy Point are always perfect for a dip, and because the water level is low all year through, it is an ideal place for children to play. There are a number of shaded picnic areas, too.
