are held for season ticket holders unless they don't renew them now. Sidelines are by donation level. We moved from West Side to North so we could get the same seats each year.

I’m willing to bet the NIU game alone lost some season ticket holders

The prices doubled for the cheap seats. That’s the number one reason.

It's almost like they are running a business and they are asking the customers how they can do better. Isn't that a

Yes, no problem with it, but just seems obvious to many.

They know exactly why; always poll your users to confirm, rank, priority & pulse

A church-run entity, located in Provo, in a bubble? No way!

I think they've believed for a long time that great schedules are the big thing

They also need to realize how demoralizing losses to UMASS and NIU

I think they ask non-renewals every year why they didn't renew.

If they'd let people renew their seats without getting bumped by higher tier cc

The people who donate the most should get the first pick of seats.

BYU has a nice mix of reserved seats and higher donors pick first seats. I have

Could you explain more? Donor Seats are by priority, so changed every year.

Are you saying that if they realized this they would try to win more games?

Can't ignore the player comments last year about not getting up for home games

BYU, and by that I mean the powers that be at BYU, has a disconnect...

Agreed they don't look at it like a business and a product and people can choose

They only lay the guilt trip on when it comes to football and basketball
