I understand why seats are empty.

I have and will go to every home game and some away games. But when you have 3-4 years of bad, I think it is typical of the less fanatical to become bitter or disinterested for any number of reasons.

The Heaps/Nelson/Doman era soured a lot of fans. I'm sure it will take several years of being good to get them back or replace them.

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.
