Wow, so you were serious? For the record, when I counter your claims here
...as I'm about to, it's not because I'm "offended" by what you said. On the contrary, I'm somewhat amused by your response. But, it's also because you are a bit off.

1) Utah's expansion is only tangentially related to this story, in that both schools are making modifications to their stadiums. But it's certainly not a lead into to an article about BYU adding concessions, bathrooms, and better stadium access.

2) The intent of the story WASN'T, or shouldn't have been, about one school on the rise, and another declining. It was supposed to be about the renovations BYU was making are almost complete. To inject that other component, particularly in the lead paragraph, is proof of exactly what I said: this is a dig at BYU. Why was it there?

3) You claim BYU is having "attendance issues", and while it is true they aren't selling out, that's not a particularly honest framing of the facts. LES seats 63,000 people. RES currently seats 45,000, and they are adding 5,000 seats. BYU has averaged more people per game than Utah will be able to seat even AFTER the expansion.

4) Hahahahaha. Sorry, it's still funny to me that your first post was serious. Not offended, just amused.
