📖About P1FCU Kibbie Dome

The P1FCU Kibbie Dome (formerly Kibbie Dome) is one of only three domed stadiums in the FCS, with a distinctive Teflon-coated fiberglass roof. Opened in 1975 on the University of Idaho campus in Moscow, the 16,000-seat multipurpose facility provides year-round climate-controlled comfort in the northern Idaho climate.

🏛️History

Origins

Constructed in 1975 to replace outdoor Neale Stadium and provide weather-protected indoor facility for football, basketball, and track. The dome design was innovative for FCS programs and allowed Moscow's harsh winters to not limit athletic programming.

2019Naming rights partnership with Idaho Central Credit Union (now P1FCU)

🎟️Visitor Guide

Best Seats

South sideline (Sections 10-16) offers midfield views. The dome creates unique acoustics - louder than outdoor stadiums. Upper sections provide panoramic views of entire facility. No bad seats due to dome's compact design.

Parking Tips

Arrive 2+ hours early for tailgating in adjacent lots. Main parking off Perimeter Dr and Stadium Dr. Street parking available on nearby residential streets. Campus is walkable from downtown Moscow (1 mile).

Game Day

Moscow is a quintessential college town atmosphere. Tailgating happens in adjacent outdoor lots (weather permitting). Visit campus landmarks like the University of Idaho Library. Post-game, explore downtown Moscow's coffee shops and restaurants or venture to nearby Pullman, WA (8 miles) for Washington State University's nightlife.
