Boise Burn News Release
BOISE, Idaho-As Qwest Arena gears up for another action-packed season of hockey, basketball and arena football, fans are invited to come down and experience all three sports for free on Thursday, October 11th from 5:00 pm through to 8:00 pm.
The Idaho Steelheads, Idaho Stampede and Boise Burn will be giving away prizes as fans test their skill competing in a 'triathlon' of hockey, basketball and football challenges. Facility tours including locker rooms, the Sports Zone and VIP Lounge will be available. The teams have set aside special blocks of seats for this event, and any fan who purchases season tickets to any one of the teams will also receive a special gift.

Fans will take to the ice to try to score a goal in a regulation hockey net; shooting hoops on center court will present another challenge; and on the turf, fans will have the opportunity to kick a field goal just like an af2 kicker.
