reason they no longer enjoyed going to football games was because we never got "top teams" to come and play in Provo. Now that that has been accomplished, they still don't want to attend games for any number of reasons.

I think it is pretty clear why it won't be... 9 in-a-row.

Maybe it’s time to stop measuring everything against Utah.

Youth Sports. Church and community activities. Afternoon kicks have far more

But the real reason is that BYU has been horrible at home.

That certainly makes people think twice about their choice. Do you skip your

Definitely agree with that. Winning helps some of the wishy-washy fans commit.

EXACTLY. Give me a break. LOL

Kerbouchard

Why exclude the Sunday activities?

All-American

9/10/19 8:51pm

What if you are coaching little league football at that time?

BlueFrog

Take the kids to the game as observation practice.

RyneK

9/10/19 3:41pm

and forfeit our own game?

BlueFrog

9/10/19 4:24pm

Oh, I thought you said it was practice.

RyneK

9/10/19 4:52pm

But yes, forfeit.

All-American

9/10/19 8:52pm

It’s going to be pretty close

cougarmanguy

9/10/19 3:39pm

I don't think so. I bet we come in around 55K.

Jesse Pinkman

9/10/19 3:44pm

It’s already more than that. Closer to 58 sold now

cougarmanguy

9/10/19 3:55pm

I think the win vs Tenn was huge in generating more excitement.

westsidecoug

9/10/19 3:56pm

Good, I hope so. That was a great comeback, great finish, great game.

chilango

9/10/19 6:16pm

Those are very good seats for $30, but almost nothing has been sold since

Jesse Pinkman

9/10/19 3:41pm

Quite a few seats have sold

fattycoug

9/10/19 4:06pm

Their kids just play on Sundays.

a priori

9/10/19 4:14pm

Depends. I’ve had my kids skip a game or 2 before to attend a BYU football game.

chilango

9/10/19 5:53pm

It won't be sold out and won't be for a long time. We need to start

Dangerous

9/10/19 3:45pm

Your last sentence is so true.

a priori

9/10/19 3:48pm

we could sell out EVERY SINGLE WEEK if that was the goal

rcbyufan

9/10/19 3:50pm

I'd love to go if my day wasn't packed with kids soccer games.

Nuke

9/10/19 3:46pm

Luckily my kids game is at 9. But the next week it is 1:30... Just like BYU.

BYUtka

9/10/19 3:48pm

Luckily mine don't start until the following week on the 21st.

J-Rod

Send the wife, send the grandma, or would it hurt for the kid to miss one game??

midlandcoug

9/10/19 3:51pm

Depending on the sport there are only a few games too. My son only has like 7

BYUtka

We have one game at 10:30 and one game at 3:30. They only have 7 games and they look forward to them so I wouldn't want

As much as I love supporting BYU football I think I'd rather support my kids.

Nuke

Not mutually esclusive, I'm skipping to kids soccer games to be in Provo.

Plato

To each his own. Doesn't make you a bad parent by missing their games just like it doesn't make me a bad fan by not

Nuke

9/10/19 4:23pm

Pull the kids kids out of the games and take them to The Game, just this once.

chilango

9/10/19 5:55pm

Oh.. and next week too... so just these two times...

BYUtka

9/10/19 6:47pm

Maybe, but not necessarily. I usually don’t do it every week.

chilango

9/10/19 6:54pm

I have tickets to a couple games later on in the season to take them to.

So true, the excuses are wearing thin.

chilango

9/10/19 5:58pm

How about we be like Utah and just "Identify" as a team that sells out?

Or like Nebraska?!?
