I think it's been 5-6 years since they went to the Rose bowl and got slaughtered

Why attendance is down and it's not the students
cougarblue

It's because BYU refuses to fill in the corners
Indy Coug

Wouldn't that just cause more empty seats? We can't fill the ones we have now.

You're totally not catching the vision. Fill in the corners, and they will come.

I don't see how increasing capacity will increase demand. Maybe just me.

Attendance is down across the country.

Most of the national decline in attendance is in student sections

Some major programs sell over 25k student season tickets annually

Having OU, UT, OKst, Baylor would fill the stadium. No question.

Was the stadium even completely full against Texas last year?

I dropped my season tickets when TCU & WVU got into the Big 12 instead of BYU.

You decided to punish BYU because they didn't get into a P5 conference?

Not renewing your season tickets
PolarisPrime

Polaris, the issue for me is BYU's PR. They handled the Big 12
Zach Morris
9/16/14 7:20pm
That is all based on the Big East lawyer pitching a fit

I think season ticket sales are down because less of the games are at good times

That's a good point. We rarely sold out Thursday games.

That was a good moment in Cougar Football you are referencing.

I think that's the main reason there was low attendance last Thursday.

I can't see how opponent familiarity has anything to do with it.
SpiffCoug
9/16/14 9:17am
It is a small factor.
CosmoK
9/16/14 9:29am
So the problem is really that we don't have common opponents with the Utes?

Its a factor. Common opponents, a way to measure our progress/success.

BYU needs to blackout games in Utah unless they sell out...

PolarisPrime

I can see them eventually reducing the number of seats in the stadium
