The last time Boise State played in front of a crowd less than 30,000 at Albertsons Stadium for a regular season game was Chris Petersen’s debut as head coach.
But Thursday’s 6 p.m. game against New Mexico is in danger of being the first regular season contest since Aug. 31, 2006 to have that small of a crowd. The school reported Tuesday evening that approximately 26,000 tickets have been sold for the game against the Lobos.
Since the Broncos beat Sacramento State 45-0 in front of 29,647 in Petersen’s first game, they have played in front of at least 30,000 at home 68 straight games.
