The University of Idaho announced May 4 that season tickets for the 2020 football season are officially on sale. The price of tickets starts at $100 and can be purchased on GoVandals.com/Tickets or by calling the Ticket Office at 208-885-6466.

Season ticket holders from the 2019 season can renew season tickets through the same process.

The Vandals’ home opener is scheduled for September 5 against Western Oregon.

“We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation throughout the summer with the health and safety of everyone in mind. We are working with direction from the NCAA as well as university guidance in collaboration with Public,” Director of UI Athletics Terry Gawlik said, according to Vandal Athletics. “Should any changes be made to the 2020 schedule, we’ll be quick to communicate those to you.”

Throughout the season, the Vandals will host Portland State for the 112th Homecoming on October 10, along with Northern Arizona during Hall of Fame Weekend on October 31. The newest class of Vandals will be enshrined into the Vandal Athletics Hall of Fame the night before the game against NAU.

The 2020 Vandals squad included five All-Big Sky selections along with a strong recruiting class to back them up.

“It was a really good class, rated the (fifth) best class in FCS, ” said Idaho head coach Paul Petrino, according to Vandal Athletics. “It’s a good class; our assistant coaches did a great job. You can look at it and see what we emphasized. Last year we went out and got a lot of skill guys on offense and a lot of big guys on defense, so we kind of did the opposite this year. It’s two really good classes back-to-back.”

First Team honorees, senior linebacker Christian Elliss and sophomore running back Nick Romano are notable players on Idaho’s roster. Look out for them as the season draws closer.
