Holt Arena

Holt Arena is an indoor multipurpose stadium at Idaho State University designed to host multiple sports and events under one roof. The facility contains about 194,400 square feet of floor space and serves both football and basketball with separate seating configurations.

The venue opened in 1970 as ASISU Minidome, becoming the first enclosed college football stadium in the United States. This innovation replaced the previous outdoor facility and changed how the university could host sports throughout all seasons.

The facility bears the name of Milton Dubby Holt, a former athletic director and boxing coach who fought for equal treatment of all student athletes. His legacy remains visible in how the place continues to serve the entire university community.

The stadium is easy to navigate with clear signage directing visitors to different seating areas for each sport. Arriving early helps you find parking and get settled before events begin.

Inside the arena hangs the largest free-falling American flag in the country, installed by local women in 1975. This striking display remains one of the most memorable features visitors encounter during events.
