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

Almost every university does that. And BYU shold have been doing that from the beginning, if they would have they would have more students attending sporting events and more funding for the school not just the athletic programs. It's the smart thing to do.

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

specsauce

3/24/19 10:42am

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

3/25/19 2:56pm

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

soupie

3/24/19 10:44am

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

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

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

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

This is the lamest, unreal excuse in the world.

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

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

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

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

What was the culture and how was it destroyed?

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

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

3/24/19 2:04pm

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.

3/24/19 2:51pm

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

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