I was at LES today...

I wouldn’t say the corners are filled in. They just put a small staircase there,

And that is in all four corners...

There’s a staircase going on the west side. It hasn’t been built yet.
The Dude Abides

Where will that go?
CoachSpeak

Here are the renderings and a picture of where it will go on the southwest corner.

Yep I remember now, thanks...

Sorry I meant the mezzanines...

The ramps from the lower level to the concourse are as follows:

Those piers or beams you can see holding up the platform are very large...

I’m sorry but as functional as that is... it’s straight up ugly as heck...

Some kind of facade has to be the next priority.
Resurgens

They built large mezzanines in all 4 corners...

Anyone who thinks we’d build a bigger stadium is stupid
puntersarepeople
6/14/19 6:25pm
If anything, it would only get smaller with emphasis on chair seating and suites

I don’t think anyone thought a bigger stadium would be built...

For sure

Really nice setting. Absolutely. The stadium? Not so much.
The Dude Abides

I’ve always thought LES is the prettiest setting in all of college

UW had both covered. Beautiful setting, really nice stadium.

They also took on $250,000,000 of debt

Something BYU won't and shouldn't do.

And wouldn’t need to do to give the stadium a similar feel.

UW didn't give me $250M better feel or experience than LES. I have a LES bias

That’s because it was far more than a facelift — practically a new stadium. As I

A thought about stadium "expansion"
Left Shark Coug
6/14/19 7:03pm
What a waste of $16 million. We can walk around the stadium without going to the bottom?
The Dude Abides
6/14/19 7:04pm
Maybe that’s in the future plans. Would make sense to do the mezzanine first
Fatalplacebo
6/14/19 7:18pm
Definitely a hope. I won’t hold my breath but it’s a hope.
The Dude Abides

You need to chill and see it for yourself before you make negative comments
Pretorian
6/14/19 7:21pm
Seen it. I’m not as excited.
The Dude Abides
6/14/19 7:23pm
Most people aren’t excited when their house is just a foundation and a few 2x4s
Pretorian
6/14/19 7:30pm
It’s done enough that it’s easy to see what it is. I’m good with my current opinion.
The Dude Abides
6/14/19 7:36pm
The “walking around” is a very minor part of the current project
StantonMac
6/14/19 7:47pm
Those all sound like incredibly minor changes.

Think about it structurally.... it’s not minor, it’s also very necessary so they

It's more then the ability to walk around...

6/15/19 3:18am
Why do I sound like someone who will never be pleased? Because I’m not impressed with a walkway? That’s great
The Dude Abides
6/15/19 8:30am
They’re right.... you need to “abide” better.
Pretorian
6/15/19 11:44am
$16 million is not a small enhancement. But OK.

Especially when the neighbors are poking around and disrespecting their private space.

Better access, more food options, more bathrooms, yup this is
ArcticKat
6/14/19 7:51pm
The WiFi is a good point. That was a huge change.
TCuz
6/14/19 8:58pm
And the ribbon boards and big screens added a modern feel to the stadium
SaintGeorgeYFan
6/15/19 3:20am
Not really.

You're right,, they should take then down and throw them away.

They are competing with cushy living rooms. Honestly more comfortable seats

This is going to be so much more functional for the fans...
CoachSpeak
6/15/19 6:19am
Are they adding new concessions? I haven’t heard that they are. I don’t see why lines would be any
The Dude Abides
6/15/19 8:26am
The trend in concessions is for outside vendors...
CoachSpeak
6/15/19 8:47am
I don’t care for the reasons you mentioned. “They don’t move quickly but are methodical”. Lol okay.
The Dude Abides
6/15/19 11:09am
I hope they find a way to support larger screens.

Talk to the neighbors about that.

Do people regularly move from corner to corner? Why?

I would love some “frivolous bling” at LES in the form of upgrades to our cement palace.

BYU easily has the most out of date and least impressive press box and suites in the state...

6/15/19 3:50pm
Why should a fan care at all about the press box?
BYU'01
6/15/19 9:24pm
Right now that box is only used 7 times a year...

It looks much older then 40 years.

The views from LES are incredible... The view of the stadium is not. It's gray, steel and concrete. Yeah, not pretty

No. Only one loge has that feature currently (mid-Level 2)
