Emergency services prepare for Post Malone concert at Albertson Stadium

A major concert event at Albertson Stadium is set to draw large crowds, prompting significant preparations from local emergency services. The Ada County Commissioners discussed the logistics of the concert featuring Post Malone and Jelly Roll during their open business meeting on June 24, 2025.

With half of the staff deployed to manage the event, the county has established a temporary medical facility at the stadium, staffed by physical therapy students from Boise State University. This setup allows for immediate treatment and triage of concertgoers, reducing the need for emergency room visits.

The concert, which is expected to attract thousands, will see road closures in the surrounding area, including Cesar Chavez and University Avenue, to facilitate safe access for rideshare services. Officials advised the public to avoid these areas unless attending the concert.

In addition to concert preparations, the meeting highlighted a new ambulance color scheme aimed at improving visibility. The board approved funding to repaint some ambulances, utilizing money recovered from a previous incident. The new design features a bright yellow box with a blue hood, intended to enhance safety on the roads.

As the concert approaches, officials are confident that the extensive planning will ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for attendees.
