The ones that shift back and forth with the tides are the ones that

boo every flag against their team, don't really have a clue about the game and behave with an air of obnoxious superiority. Don't get me wrong. I'd rather even they were on our side. Because it would mean we were winning. But other than that I don't miss them.

yewts to expand Rice Chuckles

11/13/18 10:42am

Well, we need to find a place to put all those defecting BYU fans. 😉

Also, I think this approval was just a formality.

This has needed to happen for a long time.

They need new locker rooms and an actual press area.

The visitors lockerroom in particular at res is a complete dump.....

Plenty of BYU fans fit. So do many Utes.

Only the south endzone? What would that add. Like 3k seats?

TPcoug

11/13/18 10:44am

Probably take it to ~55k

Tokolosh

11/13/18 10:46am

Looks like 51k total. Either way, a nice boost

TPcoug

5-7k but renovation of the south EZ is needed. It was built in '72

The southern region of their stadium is really small.

As long as I’ve been alive they’ve envied BYUs stadium

It's an erector set. No envy here.

Good question.

Dumb decision to expand, CFB attendance is dwindling accross

But Utah has bucked that trend so far.

Tokolosh

11/13/18 10:47am

True, but you're one head coach away from a 180... just like BYU.

11/13/18 10:52am

Are you really suggesting the utes should not consider expanding

There’s a lengthy waiting list for season tickets at Utah. I

They don't have a big stadium.

I've heard it is higher.

BrotherBrighamsBeard

11/13/18 11:52am

Maybe they’ll eventually stop

11/13/18 10:59am

No they don’t. College athletics isn’t about waitlists.

RalphWiggam

11/13/18 11:09am

It's about $15k if you want to bypass the waitlist plus the seats cost

Even less than I thought. And I’m also aware you can pay it over a number of

What other donor or fan are they going to take the seats from?

rhrk140698

11/13/18 11:32am

utah isn't alabama or texas so that comparison is silly and ridiculous....

CoachSpeak

11/13/18 1:54pm

It will bump from a donor who gives less $$

RalphWiggam

11/13/18 2:34pm

They don't do that. Once you have your seats you have a right to those seats
