yewts to expand Rice Chuckles

Division Bell

11/13/18 10:42am

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

Tokolosh

11/13/18 10:43am

Also, I think this approval was just a formality.

Tokolosh

This has needed to happen for a long time.

They need new locker rooms and an actual press area.

slowhiteguy

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

To a point. I wouldn't say that high a percentage switches allegiances. And the

Plenty of BYU fans fit. So do many Utes.

gwalker

11/13/18 2:54pm

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

11/13/18 10:47am

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

NarfUte

11/13/18 10:46am

The southern region of their stadium is really small.

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

NanoFab Coug

It's an erector set. No envy here.

He's not wrong....

Good question.

Everyman

11/13/18 11:01am

Dumb decision to expand, CFB attendance is dwindling accross

ColumbusCoug

11/13/18 10:46am

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.

Division Bell

11/13/18 10:52am

Are you really suggesting the utes should not consider expanding

NanoFab Coug

11/13/18 10:57am

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

Jdoc

Season tix waiting list is 22,000 long

BrotherBrighamsBeard

They don't have a big stadium.

Mr. Scoobs

11/13/18 10:59am

Yet Utah announced their 47 straight sell out during the Oregon game

Disagree. The south end zone needs to be replaced.

Will the new expansion sell Cougar Tails?

BlueFever

11/13/18 10:50am

Utah taxpayers approve of this?

Heinz57

Yup. Thanks for payin' for our stadium, suckers!

After improving the other facilities they must blow that Pac12 money somewhere

Non-State Revenue Bond

They have a wait list to buy season tickets over 15k now

rhrk140698

11/13/18 10:55am

This is completely false

ColumbusCoug

11/13/18 10:56am

It is? I don’t know if the waiting list is 15 k, but I do know it is

Jdoc

They need to donate more $$.

Call and ask they will assign you a number over 15k

rhrk140698

11/13/18 11:06am

I've heard it is higher.

BrotherBrighamsBeard

11/13/18 11:52am

Maybe they’ll eventually stop

NanoFab Coug

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

NarfUte

11/13/18 11:11am

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

I never said there is a 15,000 waiting list. That was silly; I said several

Scratch

11/14/18 12:32pm

I really think they’ll sell all of them...

CoachSpeak

11/14/18 8:51pm

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

Scratch

11/13/18 2:41pm

I read his post differently. They do go with the highest "pledge" when selling

NarfUte

If I write a check today for $100k I will get my pick of seats at RES. Trust me

CB is the best Board around for many topics, including Utah sports.

You are incorrect here...

He's not wrong although I don't completely agree with him either....

CoachSpeak

It would be an irritant if they had no way to hide it...

Tokolosh

11/13/18 1:59pm

Not even close....

CoachSpeak

11/13/18 2:29pm

51k is disappointing.

STL

11/13/18 12:01pm

It's a wise number. Limit the supply and keep the demand up

Everyman

11/13/18 12:31pm

Yep, especially considering these are going to be new seats in the least
