The Idaho High School Activities Association and its Board of Directors has approved the 2017 Milk Bowl site rotation for the upcoming state football tournament. The rotations were finalized at the recent IHSAA Board of Directors meeting on Sept. 26 in Coeur d'Alene.
The six area districts in Idaho are combined into three regions for rotation purposes, and are as follows:
North Region - Districts 1 & 2
West Region - District 3
East Region - Districts 4, 5, & 6
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.
There is one potential conflict this year with any games scheduled to be held at Boise State's Albertsons Stadium. The Broncos host Air Force on Saturday, Nov. 18, which would conflict with the state championships. As a result, any state championship contests scheduled to be played in Boise could be played at Boise State on Friday, Nov. 17 or moved to nearby Dona Larson Park or Treasure Valley area high schools. The same is true for any games scheduled at the Kibbie Dome in Moscow as the Idaho Vandals host Coastal Carolina on Saturday, Nov. 18. If any state championship contests are scheduled for the Kibbie Dome, they will most likely be played on Friday, Nov. 17. There are no conflicts at Holt Arena this year as the Idaho State Bengals will be on the road at Weber State that weekend.
With that, here are the 2017 Milk Bowl Site Rotations.
