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.

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.

3/24/19 10:44am

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

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

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

dizthewiz

A lot of leagues outside of Utah play on Sundays

It's almost impossible to get young kids to last 3-4 hour game

Other people go to church on Sundays too. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is

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?

BYU had a fairly robust tailgating scene until

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

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

She is spot on! Tailgating at BYU is pathetic!

The location sucks, that parking lot is too small

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

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

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

blue13

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

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

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

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

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?
