When we get into the Big XII, one of the first things we need to do is expand

Zaphod

If they can include a few proposals for parking and traffic with the expansion

Yakov

7/29/16 2:35pm

I think in 10 years the stadium will expand

BradioHead

7/29/16 2:36pm

If BYU were to build a completely new stadium, it would probably be smaller

Jesse Pinkman

7/29/16 2:37pm

They need to increase the seat size and increase cost imo

CSoul

7/29/16 2:46pm

Which would be a major overhaul or a new stadium but I agree

Jesse Pinkman

7/29/16 2:49pm

Stadiums only expand when they sell out for years in a row.

Cougarclaw

Tons of expansions - A&M, Ohio St., Oklahoma, Louisville, Oregon, Notre Dame

Build it and they will come.

Zaphod

and have a long waiting list for season tickets to become available

Selling a game out is generally not that difficult.

XXL

7/29/16 2:39pm

More likely they'll just increase ticket prices.

You could find it by allowing caffeine sales in concessions. Don't even need

CFB attendance has been declining for over 5 years.

CosmoK

Don't expand. Build new on the Provo HS property.

zonacougar

7/29/16 2:45pm

Just redo the seating the same way Michigan does theirs and capacity is now 75k

monkeycowboy

7/29/16 2:48pm

... with reclining leather theater-type seats. That'll work just fine.

Hinta

7/29/16 2:54pm

I'd prefer they refresh the existing stadium and raise it to 70-75k

HuskerFan2

7/29/16 2:49pm

And a statue of Lavell Edwards too.

HuskerFan2

7/29/16 3:06pm

LOL....that is not going to happen. Renovation needs to happen, not expanding

idacoug

7/29/16 2:50pm

We need to build a new stadium with luxury boxes much closer to the field. People would pay a huge premium to be

HarlemCoug

7/29/16 2:51pm

^This is far more likely and realistic.

CasualFan

7/29/16 2:59pm

I don't think the stadium needs to be new, but reconfigured w/more luxury boxes

Thrill

7/29/16 3:15pm

Agreed. This may be the best option. Take down the west side and replace it first. Then perhaps 15 yrs later redo the E

7/29/16 3:24pm

i think 70k would be a perfect number. with good p5 schedules, the games would

That's quite the market analysis you've done there;

ZooBlue

Sorry. I didn't know I needed to do formal studies before posting my opinion.

Zaphod

7/29/16 3:05pm

I should do an environmental study too.

Zaphod

7/29/16 3:05pm

And a noise impact study for the neighbors.

slowhiteguy

7/29/16 3:10pm

don't forget the shade & view impact

ptcougr

7/29/16 4:44pm

Uh, this is cougarboard. Formal studies required for posting a thumbs up.

zonacougar

7/29/16 3:17pm

Is this a college thesis?

RaggaeCoug

7/29/16 3:38pm

Love the idea...but if we are in B12 we will lose a lot more games than fans

BYUfan92

7/29/16 3:04pm

Note that the big boys will bring more away fans especially if they haven't been to LES before.

HarlemCoug

Good pt. Didnt consider that.....

BYUfan92

7/29/16 3:34pm

I agree... that's probably a few years down the road but it needs to happen.

Accipiter

7/29/16 3:06pm

Mormons are cheap. BYU won't sell out Big12 games as is when ticket prices increase.

slowhiteguy

7/29/16 3:09pm

I think you'll be surprised how many fans we will pick up with B12 inclusion.

HarlemCoug

7/29/16 3:14pm

I agree. And it sounds better to sell out 90k at cheaper prices than 65 k.

Zaphod

7/29/16 3:15pm

Fair point. Recruits would love to play in front of a sold out 90k but it's a risk. 80k sold seats in a 90k stadium for

HarlemCoug

7/29/16 3:27pm

The stadium was originally going to expand to 82K with a full bowl, but it would

Nat Gas Man

one thing to remember

byublue42

7/29/16 3:21pm

No, some Mormons are cheap, some are poor, most are neither but not everyone is

ptcougr

7/29/16 4:47pm

Seats are not a good idea in the student section. Having more students packed

OlanchoCoug

7/29/16 8:12pm

No, make more suites and reduce to 50k. Utah will never get that many

Y4LYFE

7/29/16 3:32pm

Fill in the corners!!!

LifeLongLakerFan

7/29/16 3:41pm

I'd like to see a north or south end zone wall like Dortmand has, possibly even

HoustonCougar

7/29/16 3:48pm

Redo the west side and fill in those 2 corners replacing the benches with seats

monkeycowboy

7/29/16 4:11pm

I was hoping the rest of the statement was "find more non LDS to moderate CB"

NotOfYourFaithBYUFAN

7/29/16 4:35pm

More seats cheapens your ticket...keep demand high.

1. 58k average lately. 2. East side luxury boxes. Mark it down.

StalwartBraveTrue

7/29/16 6:02pm

75k-80k would be best

Tear down the East and West Stands, make them match the same angles as the

90K is huge, but I could see maybe 75k. BYU could expand the stadium and also
