Each classification has the possibility of playing these state championship games at the Kibbie Dome in Moscow, Holt Arena in Pocatello or a site in the Treasure Valley to be determined at a later date. In the last five years, the two Treasure Valley locations have been Albertsons Stadium at Boise State University and Middleton High School. Eagle High School in 2012 was the last venue outside of those two to host a title in the Boise area.
As it relates to scheduling for these games, Holt Arena is occupied on Saturday, November 17 with the Idaho State Bengals hosting Weber State. The Kibbie Dome is hosting a concert on Saturday and is unavailable Friday night as well as a result. Albertsons Stadium is available on Friday or Saturday. This means that any games at Holt Arena will most likely be played on Friday, the Kibbie Dome on Thursday or early Friday and the Treasure Valley locations have the ability to host on either day. There is also the potential now for backup locations such as Joe Albi Stadium in Spokane, Eastern Washington University in Cheney or Washington State University in Pullman to be utilized for the games that typically would be at the Kibbie Dome.
With that said, here are the 2018 Milk Bowl Site Rotations as announced by the IHSAA.

*November 9, 2018 Update: Due to a stipulation in the IHSAA bowl rotations regarding hosting the state championship game in the same location in back-to-back years, the location for this year's 4A and 5A title games have been changed to Albertsons Stadium.
