The College of Idaho's football program outgrew its stadium faster than the stadium could keep up. The lights at Simplot Stadium went in back in 2020 and did not see football action until the program's first-ever night game in 2024. One season later, Caldwell was hosting NAIA semifinal-caliber football. Now the venue has caught up: Nevco has completed a new video display and scoring installation at Simplot Stadium, announced September 4, 2026 from Edwardsville, IL.
Simplot Stadium is a 4,800-capacity venue near downtown Caldwell, Idaho. Since 2014 it has hosted Yotes football, soccer, and lacrosse, and the football program consistently draws the highest attended games in the NAIA. That crowd was watching a team on the move. The Yotes finished 11-2 last season and won the program's first outright Frontier West Division title. They enter this year ranked No. 4 nationally in the 2026 NAIA preseason poll.
A facilities push to match the record
The Simplot Stadium project is one piece of a larger capital investment across College of Idaho athletics. The list includes new turf at Simplot Stadium and Wolfe Field, court and bleacher replacement at the J.A. Albertson Activities Center, and upgrades to the Aquatic Center. The common thread is a program-wide facilities effort meant to line up with what Yotes teams are doing on the field.
Our program has come a long way in a short time, and it means a lot to have a stadium that reflects that. Nevco has been a great partner through this process, and this new display and scoreboard will give our fans and student-athletes the game-day experience this team has earned. — Reagan Rossi, Vice President of Athletics, The College of Idaho
What went in at Simplot Stadium
At the center of the installation is a 10mm Nevco video display running Nevco One Video Pro software, which handles live action, replays, and graphics for fans on every side of the field. Below it sits a custom football scoreboard finished in purple with Electronic Team Names, keeping score and game details in view. A digital game timer in matching purple with white LED digits rounds out the set. The three pieces work as one game-day system for a program that has moved from surprise story to Frontier Conference contender.
This installation was about giving The College of Idaho a facility that matches the trajectory of this program. From the video display to the scoreboard, every detail was built to support a team that's just getting started. — Alex Brewer, Senior Sports Video Consultant, Nevco
For Yotes players, fans, and the Caldwell community, the result is a unified game-day presentation at a stadium that already fills up on Saturdays. For Nevco, which serves as the Official Scoreboard and Digital Display Provider of the NAIA, the project is another installation at a venue where the crowds were already there and the technology needed to catch up.
