Utah's games are always on TV and

we've sold out every home game for the past 5 seasons.

Also, the NFL has gone away from blacking out games in home markets as they've discovered they can make a whole lot more money by having games on TV.

I agree with you about the other challenges facing attendance, but Utah (right now) is a poor example.

Your stadium only holds 45,000. BYU's holds 63,000.

in a ute's mind, 45k is > than 58k

Boise State will be our highest attended game. Only going downhill from here.

Sure, Utah "sells out" it's games, which is a feat, but in the actual biggest

Yewt games sell out so fans can use the stadium as a rest room.

The home schedule is not helping with ticket sales.

I do have to agree... Conference affiliation has helped Utah attendance.

No question Utah is up right now. Lots of things going for it.

If BYU was in the Big XII, it would be a sellout, too

to be fair you don't know if Utah would sell out a 65,000+ stadium in Provo at

Blackouts would SUCK and would hurt in many other ways
