Biographical / Historical
The P1FCU Kibbie Dome serves as a multipurpose athletics facility for the University of Idaho. Following the destruction of Neale Stadium by fire in 1969, the University of Idaho began the construction of a new stadium, named Idaho Stadium, in 1971. A few years later came the installation of the roof that turned the open-air stadium into a "dome"; construction began in 1974, and the new building was dedicated in October 1975, named for sponsor William H. Kibbie. The P1FCU Kibbie Dome, until 2023 named the Kibbie-ASUI Activity Center, has undergone a number of additions and renovations since its dedication.
