The tickets were something close to double normal price, the temperature was in the 96-98 degree range

and it was in August more than a week before classes started. IOW, the number of empty seats were highly unusual for back then, but understandable.

Lest we think LES being less than full is new...

It was before school started so not all the students were back in town

That game wasn't included in the season ticket package IIRC. And BYU was coming

aka, byu fans are cheap. not included in season tickets means I can't go.

I don't think you are correct.

Pack

He is correct. I had season tickets too.

It's a 7th home game that year. They only had 6 normally

LaserCoug

Yes, I remember it very well.

Jeffacka

And ticket prices were about 4 times more expensive than regular price.

It was also a week or more before the students came back to school and not part of the season ticket package.

It was an awesome game to be at.

Still one of my all-time favorite TD celebrations

That TD was my first ever time hyperventilating. It was awesome.

I don't really have a comment on this game in particular, but I have been very impressed for years how BYU continues to

There have been a lot of great games played in LES... and I hope there’s many

Kudos to BYU Marketing for their crowd color-coordinating efforts. 1996? Woof.

JohnnyGJR

No one did color coordination back then.

Indy Coug

11/15/19 9:13am

Correct. The Utes had not yet invented the white, red, black, and grayouts.

11/15/19 9:14am

I think they did have all 9 of their fans wear the same

Shihan

I remember a fan-initiated effort at BYU around 2004-ish. But good point.

This isn't unique to BYU. Back then, very few fans wore team gear to any sports.

COACHdrn

Go Big Red!

StalwartBraveTrue

They only wear red gear to match their necks.

Shihan

My favorite team. Loved everyone on both sides of the ball.

Empty seats doesn’t mean not full when it’s bleachers. People crowd down

Attendance was 55,229, when capacity was over 65,000

Indy Coug

Don’t blame me! I was there.

All that video shows is BYU does much better with branding and getting fans in a more uniform color on game day

Turnpike Lane

11/15/19 9:32am

My favorite uniforms with the black outline around the numbers. Clean.

Mathew

11/15/19 9:36am

My favorite shade of blue for sure.

My brother played and coached at BYU during this time.

Dude, that is awesome

Love the dude with the 49ers hat. Those were the good ole days of BYU. Steve Y.

Yeah but it was “just” Texas A&M

Slide in endzone!

Samuel Hall Society

I was there though. I think it was the first game I went to
