Being a resident of eastern Idaho I feel bad for the ISU Bengals. Nobody

outside of Pocatello cares one bit about them. There are 10x the BSU and BYU fans in the Idaho Falls area despite ISU games being 45 minutes away and BSU 4+ hours away.

Even people in Pocatello really don't care all the much about them either. It would be nice to see some better support for the local school but there isn't really any whatsoever.

A return game to Pocatello would be nice for the fans in Eastern Idaho

RC Vikings

Hard pass

Try 12,000 seats.

It would be there first sellout in years for sure.

Why not play in Pocatello?

DCCougFan

11/13/19 2:09pm

For one, FBS teams never play at FCS schools. It never happens. By far, the biggest reason for this

Would the payout be a sack of potatos?

*Sack'a taters

Norkotah or Burbank?

Conan

11/13/19 11:46am

Why would anybody want a sack of Norkotahs?

IdahoCoug

11/13/19 11:49am

That's what I'm saying. Norkotah's are a non-starter.

Conan

11/13/19 12:36pm

Living in the World Potato Capital, you'd think I wouldn't have to worry

IdahoCoug

11/13/19 12:44pm

Sure, we could give a box to every player and coach and two boxes to Holmoe.

RC Vikings

11/13/19 11:46am

For football, no. But they should do at least 1 game per year in rexburg in bbal

jholling

11/13/19 11:45am

Going to Pocatello for any reason should be avoided

11/13/19 11:46am

Yes, Taysom Hill wouldn't have gone to BYU

bluegato

Pocatello has some real nice areas to ride a bike, head east of town and then

RC Vikings

11/13/19 12:22pm

Got a good deal on a used car in Pocatello. It's getting better.

Bring Back the JV team! I'd go to that game.

md7Coug

11/13/19 11:47am

I'm pretty certain I remember a BYU JV game in the mini dome vs ISU.

IdahoCoug

11/13/19 11:50am

Better to have the game at the old Ricks College Stadium. Is it still there?

PJMort

11/13/19 11:48am

Yes, but not any better than playing in Holt. Not a field BYU should be playing

IdahoCoug

11/13/19 11:51am

It could be a treat for the BYU-I students who don't have intercollegiate sports

PJMort

11/13/19 12:01pm

They should play the game during Spring ball.

PJMort

11/13/19 12:02pm

McGuirk Stadium also qualifies as a stadium BYU should not be playing in. Ever.

11/13/19 12:11pm

Agreed. Playing there in Gillette Stadium last time was one thing. This time

IdahoCoug

11/13/19 12:15pm

It's still there and they replaced the turf this past year, it holds about 6000

RC Vikings

Certain things are constants across the Church schools. Intramural priority

If they could put together a few winning seasons...

Just drive to Boise

MikeDitka'sStache

or Logan

Provo is actually closer to Pocatello than Boise.

Silent Minority

11/13/19 12:28pm

It would have more fans than the UMass game next week

BYU Fan

11/13/19 11:50am

Our game next week won't be too far off. UMASS' McGuirk Stadium seats 17,000

11/13/19 12:04pm

So, like USU

11/13/19 12:05pm

Actually not even close. USU has averaged more than double UMASS so far.

11/13/19 12:07pm

And they've been ALMOST twice as good as UMass this year.

PJMort

11/13/19 12:11pm

Our high school played there last year. Quirky place. No thanks for a BYU game

BlueFrog

11/13/19 12:16pm

Went to high school playoffs 4 year in a row to see my boys play.

Y-Zag

11/13/19 1:27pm

What h.s. did your boys go?

BYUfan92

11/13/19 1:48pm

Declo. It's been a couple of years.

11/13/19 1:51pm

ISU probably makes more coming to Provo than a sellout in the Holt Arena.

That's like asking how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop

The only good thing to come from Pocatello:

Holmoe gave Liberty and UMass home games so it wouldnt shock me.

Backcountry

11/13/19 12:55pm

Liberty and UMass are both FBS. ISU is not. Not saying I like BYU playing at

IdahoCoug

11/13/19 1:43pm

Is there though?

No. But sounds like a decent spot for an open practice and Blue-White scrimmage

12,000 times $50 per ticket equals $600,000.

No no no no no no no no no no no. Just. No.
