It wasn't BYU. It was the neighbors.

Correct. The neighbors voted against the larger screen for various reasons

Everyone is mixing up neighbors complaining about the MTC construction announcements and plans with the LES screens

No we are not. They complained about both. This is pretty common knowledge.

Michigan State did the same thing as BYU with 2 smaller, big video boards. No shame.

At least Michigan State put up widescreens.
