Actually I think the rent-a-tailgate tent is perfect for BYU's fan base

It’s taken off at Alabama. It’s what most people do actually and it’s very fun. I’m very excited for it

Agree. It’s a good idea

Will enough people pay for it? Most BYU fans are cheapskates

You’ve made a number of massive generalizations in this thread.

Most BYU fans pay tithing, fast offerings, and have many children.

I think it can/will include people who won't go inside the stadium too.

This seems likely to me. Basically a pre-game party for anyone.

Who in their right mind would battle gameday traffic to play cornhole?

I'm regularly accused of not being in my right mind, so not a great counter example, but I probably would IF

My wife and I are childless so maybe thats part of why I cannot relate.

This will be a strong indicator of how well our fans compare to the SEC fans

6 whole saturdays a year. Must be such a sacrifice.

Same lame reasons people give for not tailgating.

Exactly. It's only 6 Saturdays a year. Pay a neighbor kid 15$ to mow the lawn.

The only way it works out is if BYU wins and wins big. I think everyone has

If BYU is 2-4 by the BSU game, no one will show up to tailgate.
