Pavilion

Me: Would you change your name for 4 million dollars for 15 years?
Also Me: Yes

Me: What if the new name was Taco Bell?
Also Me: Yeah of course!

Me: And then, when the 15 years are up, would you change your name again for 8.4 million dollars?
Also Me: I guess... What will it be this time?

Me: ExtraMile
Also me: ... … …

Honestly, there isn’t much I wouldn't do to make a few bucks.

I’m talking about the BSU Pavilion of course. It opened back in 1982 on Boise State’s campus and has hosted many, many concerts, religious & political events, sports tournaments and whatnot. It has seen some things. It has seen a lot of changes over the years but these iconic stripes with weird level names remain untouched. I guess they were going for a timeless, fancy vibe. Nailed it!

Rate your Pavilion “OG”ness by reading through my list and see what concerts you attended. No need to cheat or lie... It’s not a competition... and this is not a complete list so please no hate mail.

Maroon 5 • Katy Perry • Imagine Dragons • Elton John • Ariana Grande • Metallica • Blink 182 • Phish • Amy Grant • Dave Matthews • Van Halen • R.E.M • Bon Jovi • Lynyrd Skynyrd • Tina Turner • Air Supply • Chicago • Journey • Ozzy Osborne • Grateful Dead • Styx • Barry Manilow •Trans Siberian Orchestra • Beach Boys • ZZ Top

**Bonus points if you were one of the BSU students in the late 70s/early 80s who basically paid for the construction of the Pavilion with increased fees...

FYI
Balcony - Upper Level
