I don’t know, but I don’t know that we aren’t keeping up with the ‘arms race’

that is happening among big programs. Facilities, stadiums, and experiences are all getting better with huge investment happening.

BYU doesn’t seem to be willing to shell out the $ for large screens and an upgraded stadium, let alone all the little things that might help us keep up.

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

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

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

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

Look no further than the crowd that sits around the cougar statue 1-2 hours

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

3/23/19 11:47pm

That comes at a price

Heinz57

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

The Dude Abides

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

foofcoug

that west side of the stadium needs some energy

The stadium is kind of a dump.

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

3/24/19 9:32am

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

3/24/19 12:02am

The Iceland clap thing is super lame for both sports.

TCuz

3/24/19 12:04am

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

thaskoozcoug

3/24/19 12:19am

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

3/24/19 12:24am

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

LES needs seats instead of benches. Look at how much nicer the MC got when...

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

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

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

The only time I have seen anyone tell someone to be quiet was while the O is on

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

That’s funny because I did hear both of those at the same game. I’m not saying

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

I think that song is a perfect example of what shouldn’t be played at the game

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

I don’t care what other schools do or don’t do. It’s dumb. It’s lame. Ditch it.

The pregame band is very vanilla

And the chant should lead to something exciting
