It would be good. But it might also require shutting down a lot of roads during the game.

There is already a development plan for this. Not sure it is approved though.

I don't think BYU owns the land you marked for parking.

Take the field house parking and turn it into a parking garage.

It could be bought from the city

I think they should buy out McDonalds as well and shift the proposed parking to the north to meet with Cougar Blvd.

How is this $4-5B? An NFL stadium is $900M, and BYU would probably be half that

So you think BYU will become some random unknown religious school, like BYUI?

Honestly, 50-55k horseshoe opening towards the mountains would be pristine.

A field that runs East and West? No thank you.

Maybe. We'll see how the next few seasons go.

Plus, the mountains are to the east. Stadiums run north/south so the sun isn’t

Huh? Really. No horseshoe and increase capacity. Luxury Suites and 70K seating.

BYU could do it cheap. Could just have a few EQs move everything to new site.

They could move both video boards over which should help with the overall cost.

They could call Ute fans as service missionaries for free labor on the build.
