Moving the student section was a bad idea

Ham

letting Jimmer graduate was an even worse idea

StantonMac

1/30/15 2:34pm

Actually, Jimmer never had an undefeated season in the MC.

Ham

1/30/15 2:39pm

There's a LOT fewer students in the lower bowl than there used to be. I think it

jreid191

1/30/15 2:36pm

Oh I don't think they had to do it... they easily could have moved the student's

1/30/15 2:46pm

It was a great idea then and still is

CSoul

Disagree. Home court advantages diminish for everyone when the team isn't as

Maybe I'm wrong, but I seem to remember...

Ham

1/30/15 2:55pm

If a good UNLV team was in the house last night, you'd have seen the same thing.

Walter Bellhaven

1/30/15 3:51pm

Of course the opposing team plays a big part

Dr Van Nostrand

1/30/15 4:13pm

Yeah it was nice for sure.

Walter Bellhaven

1/30/15 4:16pm

So its the student section move and not the overall talent level of the team?

1/30/15 2:45pm

Maybe. I think it's definitely a part of it.

Home conference losses since 2000

concolor couguar

some warned of this when it happened

Littlerich

1/30/15 2:50pm

Has little to do with the location, and everything to do with the team

fredgarvin

1/30/15 3:03pm

I guess that makes sense.

Dr Van Nostrand

1/30/15 3:58pm

LOL, "tucked away in the corner" is more than a little dramatic...

fredgarvin

1/30/15 4:38pm

It makes no difference if they were at BYU or not

Dr Van Nostrand

1/30/15 5:09pm

You're right, it isn't a difficult concept

fredgarvin

1/30/15 6:21pm

BYU needs to cover the tunnel and put seats right behind the basket.

BYUheaven

1/30/15 3:08pm

tunnel is necessary for other events moving abilities inside the MC.

theROC

1/30/15 7:01pm

Then how about removable seats?

byuluvr

1/30/15 9:04pm

definitely on to something there, biggest problem would be an aisle though

palangi

1/30/15 10:13pm

we have honestly looked into it. Expensive. But.. well see.

theROC

I agree that the magic has been sucked out of the building!

TheAirForceCoug

1/30/15 4:28pm

Then surely you remember 1997-98, when BYU was lucky to have 5,000 fans?

fredgarvin

1/30/15 4:40pm

Yes! I remember those years fondly! You know that fake or real diamond under

TheAirForceCoug

1/30/15 5:59pm

Ha ha, I do remember those...

fredgarvin

1/30/15 6:24pm

yeah... I'm pretty sure they used to put one real diamond in the arena...

TheAirForceCoug

1/30/15 6:31pm

I disagree, moving it hasn't impacted a single game's outcome

No way, BYU's greatness was solely due to the angles at which the students

fredgarvin

1/30/15 4:41pm

Jimmer, Jackson, Noah and Brandon were not part of our best MC years.

Ham

1/30/15 5:16pm

That's true, but the Jimmer years were still the best MC years.

fredgarvin

1/30/15 6:22pm

If you want to see how it should be done, check out the Kennel

CaughtForaTouchdown

1/30/15 5:04pm

Sure, let's copy The Kennel. Just gotta remove 15,000 or so seats first...

fredgarvin

1/30/15 6:25pm

There is NO Home Court Advantage now? Cougars can't shoot well in the Marriott

HighHorse

1/30/15 5:40pm

Especially when 50% of lower bowl ticket holders don't show up to some games

idcougarfan

1/30/15 6:16pm

this is the biggest problem, the lower bowl is completely sold out every game

palangi

1/30/15 10:15pm

Lost to LMU at home on 11/18/05 and the next home loss was #6 Wake Forest 1/3/09

Y2010

1/30/15 6:22pm

I think that is the perfect place for the student section.

1/30/15 6:38pm

Judging from the thumbs down

1/30/15 9:24pm

There are a few here who are/were students when the change was made, and they

If only the seats were actually directly behind the basket. Instead you have

jreid191

1/31/15 8:33am

Well, you cant do anything about he tunnel.

1/31/15 10:29am

The biggest advantage of putting the students behind the basket is severely

concolor couguar

1/31/15 10:42am

I agree with that. I still think it is the best place for he rowdy fans

1/31/15 10:50am

Put them right behind the opposing team's bench then.

jreid191

1/31/15 10:52am

i don't sit in the student section. I have no personal interest in it

concolor couguar

1/31/15 11:55am

I think the student section is better now.
