Sure, Utah "sells out" it's games, which is a feat, but in the actual biggest

game of the year last year, Arizona at home, a lot of the sold seats were pretty empty throughout the game.

Utah does a better job selling their seats (sellouts are the biggest scam in sports by the way) and showing up for big name opponents, but since Arizona doesn't have a name, people stay away.

Also helps Utah that most of it's fan base is within a 45 minute drive.

That's true. For many it's better to spend alot of money on a sweet Man Cave

Your stadium only holds 45,000. BYU's holds 63,000.

in a ute's mind, 45k is > than 58k

The point is....no need to brag about selling out a 45k stadium

I don't think he was bragging. He was correcting misinformation.

Boise State will be our highest attended game. Only going downhill from here.

Yewt games sell out so fans can use the stadium as a rest room.

The home schedule is not helping with ticket sales.

I do have to agree... Conference affiliation has helped Utah attendance.

If BYU was in the Big XII, it would be a sellout, too

to be fair you don't know if Utah would sell out a 65,000+ stadium in Provo at
