... They upgraded the bench seating to real individual seats.

They're wasting their money on stupid stuff and ignoring other, more important issues.

Can someone point out specific issues why LES isn't cool?

Change tailgating

Yes. This is a needed change. They treat tailgating like it's a sin and put them

Like that idea of incorporating tailgating around LES

Mormons take their food serious. Everybody on CB seems to own a smoker, let them

Agree with this, I’ve never understood the excuse that tailgating doesn’t mesh

When is the last time you invited your neighbors over for some smoked meat?

I can’t think of a group that takes their food less serious than Mormons

Dillinger

Speaking of that. Since the Harmon Bldg construction is done, will they move it back?

soupie

Don't believe BYU will move it back

Heinz57

Your original post to start this thread explains tailgating at BYU

Brigham

3/24/19 8:04am

Maybe when mild drinks are allowed again we can improve tailgating

Heath Squashwell

3/24/19 8:56am

Maybe BYU should do it backwards. Do a Linger-Longer after the game

Mathew

Every away game I have been to has a wonderful game day experience and it starts

I really hope y'all can create an awesome tailgating environment; I love walking through, savoring the BBQ aromas

ColoSpgs

It would also help to get more fan drunk before the game

Going to Husky Stadium last fall was an eye opener in terms of stadium quality.

That comes at a price

Heinz57

Great setting. But old and dumpy. Not sure byu is willing to spend the $$ to fix that though.

Old yes but 90% of college footballs stadiums are “old”

I didn't think husky stadium was all that great. Cool look, but food wasn't

Put some more blue seats south of the U. It looks very uneven to have blue seats north of the B and then end them

that west side of the stadium needs some energy

Such a millennial way to look at it.

So? I made an observation. Big deal.

I’d say you are generalizing.

How is this a millennial way of looking at things?

Cougzilla

For me it’s just how quiet the speakers are.

BountifulCoug5

The Iceland clap thing is super lame for both sports.

TCuz

Agree but it sounds more respectable in the Marriott center.

Most of the stadium doesn’t really know the Iceland thing is happening.

Field needs upgrading. Paint the endzones, get grass that is green not yellowish

End zone paint is so far down the list of things LES needs it’s not funny.

I have been to many away games and LES, as a stadium, holds its own

Pre game is a huge issue for sure. I would also add some of the BYU quirkiness

BYU had the money & plans for bigger screens & sound but neighbors

It’s 8 home games a year... half of them not at night. Gimme a break!

Alsippi89

6 but yes. They bought the house there so suck it up.

Youre missing a big factor.... Alcohol

Go_Banana

Meh. The alcohol at CU games didn't really add to the atmosphere

GOR

That’s my point, they care a lot about drinking

It’s too quiet during the games. I’ve seen people telling others to be quiet

I've never heard the Beatles or Church hymns during a game. Lol.

The only church song I've heard is Popcorn popping on the apricot tree.

No more lame than any other stadium tradition across the nation.
