The Moscow Bears football team are confirmed to play two home games in the Kibbie Dome this season.
The Bears varsity and junior varsity teams are scheduled to play Lewiston on Oct. 2 and Lakeland on Oct. 9, but the kickoff times for the games are not listed.
According to Lance Abendroth, Activities Director at Moscow High School, the process to play in the Kibbie Dome began a few weeks ago.
COVID-19 safety was a central part of considerations, with potential smoke from wildfires also prompting the decision for an indoor location like the dome.
While the full schedule for the season is not currently available, Abendroth said it is changing by the day.
“That’s the one thing I send out to the parents and the coaches,” Abendroth said. “This is changing daily.”
