If this game is not sold, it will be embarrassing. Huge game for us

Tickets aren't that expensive, relatively. Seriously.

Really? I just paid $100 per ticket for decent, not great tickets. If I went to

Buy season tix, not individual game tix. Much cheaper.

Not if you don't live in utah and can go to only 1-2 game a year.

If you can only go to one or two games a year, you are off the hook. Only have

$100 per ticket ?? uh ... not likely unless you got scammed

Section 103 for Virginia game. Tickets are $90 plus $10 per ticket "fee"

Only legitimate excuse there is Kids activities, rest are bad... Worth the $$$

crm48

Of course it's worth the $$. But that doesn't make it affordable.

Traveshamockery

9/16/14 9:04am

Especially when you have already paid $15 to have the game on the TV at home.

I don't buy it. Distance may be a problem for some

Part of it is the resurgence of Utah's program while we have sort of stagnated

I don't get why there are so many students that aren't interested in coming to

Students nearly filled their section against Houston

How many students does it take to fill the ROC?

I was actually quite impressed with the student representation against UH

The issue isn't students

We're down about 3,000 students right now because of the mission age change.

This is the "Glee" generation, man. They are about as interested in sports...

The BYU student has changed over the years, these aren't avid sports nuts

Lack of replays in the stadium. This alone makes plenty of people frustrated

JackStack

9/16/14 8:39am

Tough to get replays in when we're running plays so fast.

ManicBlue

9/16/14 8:52am

At the stadium, replays > live action

El Jefe

9/16/14 8:56am

Weird comparison. Even if you're atthe game, you're still just watching others

Byron McNertney

9/16/14 8:45am

I don't think it's a wierd comparison at all.

laxcoug

9/16/14 8:50am

But you're not experiencing playing football. Either way, you're a spectator.

concolor couguar

I like going because I can spend some individual time with one of my kids

ManicBlue

I have already spent my football budget on cable tv.

MrF

9/16/14 9:04am

Maybe they should relocate LES to California, Texas or AZ, where people don't

crm48

9/16/14 9:07am

Thats the dig. BYU football hasn't been particularly good "entertainment"...

BearsandBulls

9/16/14 10:30am

How about we just admit it isn't a welcoming place

StalwartBraveTrue

Tickets are pricey- yes. But its all a matter of how you look at things...

AZcoug18

9/16/14 10:03am

It's a cost/benefit thing. Season tickets just don't feel like a good value...
