I would further add that if you complain about not having enough to do in a

One added factor is our BBall tickets are very inexpensive relative to others.

It helps that Mormons don't drink and there's nothing to do in Provo.

You usually get what you pay for. If you are patient, you can find good deals

Mostly various bars & clubs. They tend to be rather popular outside of Utah

True. But drinking isn't exactly some vast array of new activities to do.

Provo is awesome. And Utah in general offers a ton. Life is great there

Agreed. I enjoyed my time there. Except for the weather. The weather is turrible

What's sad is BYU Volleyball has higher attendance than most WCC B-Ball teams.
