HEE-HAWS Walk-on

After driving and parking ... but then also expect them to tailgate for hours. Not going to happen.

I love Lisa Wilson's enthusiasm, I hope she knows there's a team at byu working

But she has been correct in all her suggestions.

Except she says to lower the cost so students can afford it,

There are plenty of students who afford or sacrifice for a ROC pass.

If her son keeps playing as well as his trajectory shows, my guess is we will

And what is this "team at BYU" doing? Holmoe and his staff are clueless!

I would love a food truck round up close to stadium & think that gets excitement.

I’ve always thought the Marriott center parking lot and DT field would be perfect for tailgating

YIsForBrigham

3/24/19 10:53am

Think the field just inside the hedges on the south side would be great too. You'd need to keep people off the track

soupie

3/24/19 2:39pm

But is there a team that is?

Not sure we Mormons between family and Church have time to show up so early

The church just saved you 50 hours a year! You now have time.

In our defense, football is religion down south.

There is no reason people can’t make

Jdoc

3/24/19 11:01am

There's plenty of reasons. Youth football being one huge one

fattycoug

True. That’s why I don’t tailgate, but the majority

Jdoc

3/24/19 11:08am

My young kids would never last hours of tailgaiting & then 3-4 hour game

HEE-HAWS

3/24/19 11:55am

Then tailgate an hour. Simple fixes instead of looking for excuses

dizthewiz

And there isn't Youth football in other parts of America?

A lot of leagues outside of Utah play on Sundays

I’ve been to several SEC games and attended tailgating. My observation is that the bulk of tailgaters are

More kids plus everything has to get done on Saturday including kids' sports

Gustav

All of those things you said can be done at my home, in my driveway and yard.

byubyu

3/24/19 1:42pm

I believe that. And this is exactly why we will never have the stadium and game day atmosphere

The Dude Abides

3/24/19 2:02pm

Exactly the point. The culture that once was there has been destroyed

StalwartBraveTrue

3/24/19 2:43pm

What was the culture and how was it destroyed?

Soy Celeste

3/24/19 4:07pm

BYU had a fairly robust tailgating scene until

Wow, I had no idea. That’s horrible.

The west intramural grass lots was the best place ever. They stole it to give

pegushin

3/24/19 11:02pm

Totally agree. Grass lot was ideal and currently

We had a blast tailgating in front of the MC. It was not the best setting,

It's not just time at church though. It's the Sabbath. Others can still grocery

She is spot on! Tailgating at BYU is pathetic!

Desert Rat

3/24/19 12:04pm

The location sucks, that parking lot is too small

pegushin

3/24/19 2:48pm

Do you think she’s looking forward to the days she can cheer for the Utes again?

RC Vikings

It’s going to be a while. Her next boy will be playing for us too

I think the first place to start is revamping the west parking lot pregame

blackandblue

I agree with this. Years ago they used to have a band, Macey's would come in and

blue13

3/24/19 2:09pm

They seem to have good activities at the Fan Fests. Why not do those some place?

soupie

agreed.

Open up the grass field north of the track for tailgating.

Boomcannon

3/25/19 8:55am

That would be my 1st choice too. Just block off T&F areas. Plenty of space & even a big picnic

soupie

3/25/19 9:06am

It's a great spot! Directly across from the stadium. Great views.

Boomcannon

3/25/19 10:24am

We like to walk across that field and park on other side but haven't even been able to do that

On-campus Game Day could be so much better utilized as a missionary tool

Yeah! Or we could do football stuff. But religion classes sound fun too.

A family history indexing challenge as a tailgating activity? Who hurt you?
