According to NCAA rules, all Division I-A football programs with stadiums of at least 30,000 must average 17,000 at home once every four years or average 17,000 fans at home for four consecutive years in a smaller stadium. Idaho plays its home games in the Kibbie Dome, which has a capacity of a little more than 16,000, making it nearly impossible to hit the 17,000 plateau.
