BSU Pavilion

1401 Bronco Ln

Boise, ID 83706

Opened: May 16, 1982

Originally known as BSU Pavilion, then the Taco Bell Arena, now called ExtraMile Arena, is a multi-purpose indoor arena on the campus of Boise State University in Boise, Idaho. It is located on the east end of campus, between West Campus Lane and Cesar Chavez Circle, immediately northwest of Albertsons Stadium.

Home to the Broncos basketball and gymnastics teams, its current seating capacity is 12,644 for basketball. The elevation of its floor is approximately 2,700 feet (825 m) above sea level.

The venue is also used for concerts (capacity 13,390), community events, and trade shows (17,000 square feet (1,580 m2) of arena floor space plus 10,000 sq ft (930 m2) in the auxiliary gym). It hosted a Davis Cup tennis match in April 2013, a second round tie between the U.S. and Serbia.

While the Broncos were members, the venue hosted four Big Sky Conference men's basketball tournaments: 1985, 1989, 1990, and 1994. In those four tourneys, BSU made the finals in 1989 and won the title in 1994.

ExtraMile Arena has been a familiar site for early-round NCAA Tournament games, hosting first and second round competition nine times (1983, 1989, 1992, 1995, 1998, 2001, 2005, 2009, and 2018). It had been scheduled to return in 2021, but the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the entire tournament getting moved to Indiana.

In 1995, UCLA guard Tyus Edney dashed the length of the 94-foot (29 m) court in just over four seconds to make a layup that gave the Bruins a 75-74 win over Missouri, which sustained UCLA's run to the national title.

In 2001, it was the site of the closest first-round day at a single host location, with the four games on March 15 decided by a combined total of seven points. One was Hampton's 58-57 upset of #2 seed Iowa State - only the fourth #15 seed to advance since the tournament expanded from 53 to 64 teams in 1985.
