The Broncos played their home games on campus at the original Bronco Stadium in Boise, Idaho. This was the final year for this wooden iteration, constructed in 1950, and the Broncos' last season for home games on natural grass. Immediately following the end of the season, the venue was razed and a new concrete stadium was built in less than ten months for the start of the 1970 season,^[3] outfitted with AstroTurf (green for sixteen seasons, until 1986).

Led by second-year head coach Tony Knap, the Broncos finished with a 9–1 record.^[4][5]
