The Idaho High School Activities Association and its Board of Directors has approved the 2014 Milk Bowl site rotation for the upcoming state football tournament. The rotations were finalized at the IHSAA Board of Directors meeting on Sept. 23, 2014 in Boise.
The six area districts in Idaho are combined into three regions for rotation purposes, and are as follows:
Districts 1/2 - North Region
District 3 - West Region
Districts 4/5/6 - East Region
The championship contests' location is determined by where each participating team is located in Idaho. To see the State Football Brackets for the 2014 season, CLICK HERE.

One scenario that is not discussed in the board meeting notes but should be explained is teams from the same region facing off against each other in the State Championship. In those scenarios, the two teams will play each other in the assigned stadium in their region. There were three examples of this in 2013, when two West Region teams (Bishop Kelly vs. Skyview in 4A and Salmon River vs. Council in 1AD2) faced off in the championship round, along with two East Region teams (Declo vs. West Side in 2A). The higher seeded team of the two squads participating are designated as the home team.

*The IHSAA does not allow championship games to be held in the same location two years in a row unless the two teams are from the same geographical region. The original location for a potential North vs. West matchup was the University of Idaho's Kibbie Dome, which is where the 5A state championship was held last year. But, upon further review, the location was changed to Boise State University's Albertsons Stadium or Dona Larsen Park in Boise.
