ExtraMile Arena, located in the heart of Boise State University’s campus and Idaho’s capital city of Boise, is yet another venue that has stayed busy during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“At ExtraMile Arena, hundreds of staff members work tirelessly to support the Arena’s mission of bringing world 
class creativity, competition and celebration to life,” said Lisa Cochran, executive director of the venue. “For the moment, our hallowed halls of celebration sit empty, waiting patiently as our community bands together to flatten the curve. As a way of thanking our staff and supporting community businesses, ExtraMile Arena has teamed up with ExtraMile/Jacksons, Bronco Sports Properties, Chicago Connection, Tropical Smoothie, and Dutch Bros to distribute gift cards to our staff. As these cards are used throughout the community, may our staff and businesses alike take pride in knowing that their efforts are instrumental in making Boise, and the greater Treasure Valley, a truly wonderful place to live.
“During this difficult time, we miss the smiling faces of our employees and the opportunity to work side-by-side to create extraordinary events. Until we can come together again to celebrate once-in-a-lifetime achievements, sing at the top of our lungs or cheer on our Broncos, remember that we are stronger together and we will get through this.”
