Idaho State Bengals football has energized Pocatello since 1902, giving the city autumn Saturdays to circle on the calendar. A proud Big Sky member, the program’s signature moment came in 1981, when Dave Kragthorpe’s Bengals captured the NCAA Division I-AA national championship, clinched at the Pioneer Bowl. Conference crowns have followed, including another in 2002, reinforcing the program’s competitive edge and blue-collar identity.

At home in Holt Arena, one of the first indoor stadiums on a college campus, the noise builds and stays. The Orange and Black student section drives third downs, while fans gather for lively pregame tailgates before heading under the roof. Bengals legends such as Jared Allen and Merril Hoge, along with in-state bragging rights games against Idaho in the Battle of the Domes, keep the atmosphere charged, welcoming, and unforgettable for every fan.
