BOISE, Idaho – Idaho Vandal football will host its annual spring football game in the Treasure Valley at Eagle High School's Thunder Stadium on April 30, Head Coach Jason Eck announced at the Vandal Scholarship Fund Gala Friday night.

The move to the Treasure Valley was necessitated because improvements that will be made to the Kibbie Dome this spring would have kept the spring game from being played on the Vandals' home field. The Vandals could have played the game on the practice field without fans, but instead took the opportunity to travel to Idaho's biggest alumni base.

"We are really excited to bring the team down to the Treasure Valley this year," Head coach Jason Eck said. "It is a unique opportunity to get in front of our alumni base and fan base in this area. We are very appreciative of Eagle high School for letting us use Thunder Stadium for our game and we cannot wait to see everyone down here on April 30."

Current plans include a kid's football clinic, a pep rally and more. The final schedule will be released at a later date.

Eagle High School became the first high school to install an artificial turf football field in the state when it was installed in 2006. The current Sprinturf was installed in 2017.
