I hate to paste in a trib link... but, it's your paper... so... enjoy the truth...

The Huntsman Center has a lot of empty seats lately. What are the Utes doing to change that?

Utah's next men's basketball game comes in the middle of the NFL's conference championship doubleheader, making attendance even more of a challenge than for an ordinary Sunday event at the 15,000-seat Jon M. Huntsman Center.

What does BYU get out of it? A mostly full stadium once every other year

Last year was pretty bad. Outside of the Utah State game we were about 10,000

Attendance is down everywhere, right? Not in SLC

If we had a stadium that seated 200 people and didn't know how to do math,

I'm sorry, did we start playing college football games in the Hunstman?

You're right. This post was completely inappropriate for the subject.

No, but if you did it would finally look full and 80K could demonstrate tackles

Attendance is also not down in the prisons

Thousands of BYU fans dress up as empty seats every game? Ok got it

LOL...says the 45k stadium capacity guy, which for YEARS was STILL empty.

Utah’s had like 80 consecutive sell-outs and is expanding

LifelongAP

2/8/19 9:11am

Selling out at 45K. Whoopee!

BeefNoodleSoup

2/8/19 9:12am

BYU would have 230+ game sellout streak with a 45k stadium

STL

2/8/19 9:24am

So why doesn’t BYU reduce seating capacity?

LifelongAP

2/8/19 9:39am

I'd be fine with it

STL

2/8/19 9:48am

Why? Are we only 3/5ths of a person to you?

It certainly has benefited Utah far more than BYU the last decade or so.

what would we gain from beating them? Not much.

Really? Disagree completely.

Are you trolling or completely irrational?

Beat them, then kick them to the curb.

I would hesitate to drop them only because it looks like we quit
