Boise State is replacing its iconic blue turf before the 2026 season after receiving a $1.5 million gift from an anonymous donor in October. While the new "Smurf Turf" will remain the program's signature color, the university saw an opportunity for fans to own their own piece of the blue field.
Boise State made a variety of items available for purchase recently from the old blue turf, including a $25,000 fan cave makeover outfitted with 400 square feet of blue turf from Albertsons Stadium. A cutout of the 40-yard line was also sold for $4,000, while a cutout of "2" from the 20-yard line sold for $2,000 on CollectBSU.com, which supports the school's name, image and likeness efforts.

The new turf at Boise State will have orange markers at the 2-yard line and the 11-yard line to honor former running back Ashton Jeanty and former quarterback Kellen Moore, the school's lone two Heisman Trophy finalists. Jeanty was the No. 6 overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft to the Las Vegas Raiders, and Moore is the head coach of the New Orleans Saints.
Other items include a $300 ring with pieces of the turf inside, and a smaller $40 version of the old turf in a smaller swatch collectible.
There's also an authenticated piece of the goal post from after Boise State's 21-7 win over in 2024 to earn a spot in the College Football Playoff.
Fans can purchase items from the old blue turf through CollectBSU.com, including a fan cave makeover and field cutouts.
The fan cave makeover, which includes 400 square feet of blue turf, is priced at $25,000.

The Broncos have replaced the turf numerous times in the past, in 1995, 2002, 2008, 2010 and 2019. Albertsons Stadium will also soon complete $65 million upgrades this summer, adding 1,600 seats and more premium seating options.
Boise State has made a decent chunk of money from selling its famed blue turf. Maybe it'll be enough to pay for a few more transfer portal standouts, given its role in supporting NIL funding.
