I'm much more excited to see BYU play their independent schedule

than the same boring teams year after year in the MWC. Playing Boise State, Cinci, and ECU allows us to demonstrate our dominance of the G5 teams and cement our status as the top non-P5 team. Adding in the great P5 match-ups we've had, I've been more excited about BYU football's opponents than ever before.

So if we were 3-2 in a P5 conf, you think the stadium would always be full?

FMOCIE

10/9/15 7:13am

It should be. The stadium should be full with any record or the opponent.

Littlerich

10/9/15 7:16am

Yes, I think if we had regular conference foes, we would have greater attendance

i see your point USC's stadium was half empty last night because

It's not Independence, it's called not being in the B12/Pac12. You're implying

So you are saying that if we are playing Washington on a Thursday 35000 is fine

I watched last night's game. The crowd was late arriving, it wasn't anywhere

there is always an accountant isn't there. The phrase half empty is generally

i thought it would be fun to do math. 93,000 coliseum capacity minus 63,000 paid

travelcoug

10/9/15 2:47pm

I really don't care, it's just that CB exaggerated the emptiness of the stadium

Polecat

10/9/15 4:10pm

oh, I don't know. The actual numbers back the Cougarboard assessments. Maybe you

travelcoug

OK

This is the same as BYU having 37,000 in cougar stadium. Imagine the meltdown

I expect 60k. is that a dooms day number ?

Station42

10/9/15 7:31am

that gloomy number will be more than 10 out of 12 P12 teams numbers.

Walk the walk. Buy a bunch of tix and bring all of the YM/YW in your ward.

I'm bringing 3 scouts that have never been to a BYU game before

I call this line of thinking, "College Football False Doctrine."

saltair

10/9/15 8:20am

because it would be a sellout if we were playing new mexico?

Cougz19

10/9/15 8:30am

Actually yes. We routinely sold out against New Mexico, Wyoming

Duce

10/9/15 8:34am

Uh, BYU was winning.

Westsider

10/9/15 8:46am

Are your sure....I routinely got those tickets for free or 5 bucks.

digitalayon

10/9/15 9:15am

Very few teams are selling out now...and a lot of teams were selling out then

Conference Championship and Bowl Game affiliation vs nothing

Then "people" don't know much about college football.

CougarPilot

Coog4Life

Its rising ticket prices and HDTV on ESPN

We can fill our stadium, and when Bronco puts a product worth watching on the

It doesn't help that Game Day is just up the road at your rival either.

DazeofBlue

You're correct...only two teams report sell outs in the Pac-12. Oregon and Utah.

CougarBacker

Casual fans will not be at either game, unless given a ticket.

I know a lot of casual fans who pick the best game and buy tickets for it

How does one find the actual number of open seats?
