Barring a gimmick promo, There is a reason that BYU games won't sell out.

The reason is fairly obvious, but I think you have to be a fly on the wall (perhaps live outside the state for a long period of time) to see where BYU is getting it wrong. And the moment someone correctly identifies the problem the loud minority will shout them down.

The good news is that BYU is hitting a home run with there road games, and with BYU TV. Well done

I think this. Not being in a conference hurts home attendance

Higher prices + FCS games = fewer fans

I argue that there are more out of state fans than in state

No they will never sell alcohol, so you can give it up now.

Painting other fan bases in a negative way won't correct BYU's issue.
