Boise Pro Soccer Breaks Ground on New Soccer Stadium

State-of-the-art stadium will transform professional sports in Idaho 

In partnership with Ada County Commissioners and the United Soccer League, Boise Pro Soccer broke ground in late March on a new professional stadium that will change the landscape of professional sports in Idaho.

The new stadium will be home to a USL League One and USL Super League team and, in addition to professional soccer, will serve as a hub for community events, concerts and festivals. The stadium will initially seat 6,225 fans, with future expansion to increase capacity to over 11,000 seats. The men’s team will begin play in the USL League One in March 2026, while the women’s USL Super League team will kick off in 2027. Idaho’s new stadium will offer the perfect venue with additional fields, training facilities and community-focused spaces that are set to be developed in the coming years.

The Boise sports scene is exploding and is a great destination to host your next tournament. In addition to a vibrant downtown restaurant scene and plenty of hotel rooms to accommodate large groups, our sports facilities are versatile. For example, the Caven-Wiliams Sports Complex, Boise State’s indoor football complex, is a fantastic venue for hosting youth sporting events in the spring and summer. 

The building is located within walking distance of the world-famous blue turf of Albertsons Stadium and hosted nearly 100 teams in the first annual Spud Classic Volleyball tournament to rave reviews. Event organizers brought in their own flooring and laid down 14 courts to create Boise’s largest-ever single-weekend youth volleyball tournament. The real beauty of the Caven-Williams Sports Complex is its features:

• FieldTurf Surface

• Modern athletic training rooms 

• Batting cages 

• Climate-controlled environment 

Look no further if you’re looking for a city to host your next tournament or sporting event.

Boise is home to some of the nation’s best basketball. The 2025 Big Sky Conference Basketball Championships were held at Idaho Central Arena in Boise to packed crowds, and the results did not disappoint. Next year, if you’re looking to take your middle school or high school team to a fun tournament with a ton of teaching opportunities, the Big Sky Tournament’s StarchMadness is a great option. The conference partners with local sports clubs and teams on youth ticket drives where a portion of the ticket sales go back to local Boise clubs and teams.

On the women’s side, this year’s tournament final featured the top-ranked Montana State Bobcats against the No. 6-seeded Montana Grizzlies. The game, televised on ESPNU, was an instant classic. Trailing by one, Montana State’s Marah Dykstra put back her own miss at the buzzer to help the Bobcats claim the Big Sky women’s basketball tournament championship over in-state rival Montana, sending the Bobcats to the NCAA tournament.  

On the men’s side, second-seeded Montana outlasted top-seeded Northern Colorado to earn the automatic NCAA tournament bid. The two best teams in the conference put on an incredible shooting display in front of a national ESPN audience, with the Grizzlies coming out on top 91-83, winning a Big Sky-record 12th tournament title.

All in for Sports. All in for Idaho.

Visit Boise reminds us what makes sports truly great.  

At its best, sports teach kids important life lessons. Like how to be a part of something bigger than yourself. How to win with grace and lose with dignity. In today’s ultra-competitive world of amateur sports, too many athletes, parents, fans and even referees lose sight of the big picture. Sports are about many things. Competition. Wins and losses. Sure. But first and foremost, sports are about building character. 

Boise is committed to fostering a safe sports environment where all players, coaches, and fans respect the game and each other. To highlight the importance of character and drive home the importance of continuing to build a positive culture, Visit Boise created a video to remind us that we all have an important role to play. Whether that means being a good teammate, respecting a referee’s call, or never chanting inappropriate or hateful slogans at opposing teams, we can all do our part to create a welcoming, positive environment for everyone involved in the Boise sports scene. Many locals and out-of-town fans attending events in Boise will soon see this video play prior to or during Boise sporting events.
