LEDSFW Intervention Needed

Actually that is another issue that is important...

...configuration may not allow it. The stadium structural benching that supports the physical seating benches is wide enough for folding seats. But would they be any more comfortable? Perhaps, but do you sacrifice 10,000 seats and all that revenue to provide the people demanding it on this board? NO!

BYU should rip out all bench seats at LES

Just on the sidelines. Keep the EZ bleachers to create as much noise as possible

EZs and student section on SE stand

I say keep capacity at or above 60K with benches in the ROC and end zones

Doogal McCougar

I'm sure they would if you donated the money to do so

darkcoug

9/29/20 4:08pm

Would they? I don’t know either way, but posters on here

9/29/20 4:11pm

I'm sure if you said "Here's $250k if you earmark it for replacing lower bowl

I would think so to. But didn’t someone over money to fund lacrosse or

9/29/20 4:19pm

That's a little different because you have continued expenses and title 9 issues

Yep. Now is the time.

I have an idea.....fill in the corners! Brilliant!

WJCougar

9/29/20 4:10pm

I'm not sure there's enough knee room to put in chairs everywhere.

9/29/20 4:12pm

I've heard this complaint on the West side when they put in the current chairs

Cramped chairs are waaayy more uncomfortable than benches

FILLING TO CAPACITY IS A MARKETING AND TICKET PRICING PROBLEM...

Well I like to make a point when the idea is, well...poorly thought out.

LEDSFW

9/29/20 4:28pm

If we could just fill in the corners!

WJCougar

9/29/20 4:29pm

Honestly I think it would greatly improve the stadium aesthetically. A lot....

LEDSFW

9/29/20 4:47pm

You put way to much thought into it. I was joking.

WJCougar

9/29/20 5:06pm

Did you go to a game last year? or previous years? There are over 5-10k empty

BYU Grounds

9/29/20 4:37pm

Did you read why? because the ticket prices are not correct!

LEDSFW

9/29/20 4:55pm

Isn't there a pricing point that takes into consideration everything

Sorry, gonna risk getting banned...

If you drop the price to clear unsold inventory you could cannibalize existing

It’s for the same reason there are lots of empty seats at professional games

CONCESSIONS REVENUE IS $32 PER SEAT?!?

9/29/20 4:37pm

Concessions include all food and drink (very high profit margins) plus...

LEDSFW

9/29/20 5:05pm

A few issues: 1) Incremental student seating does not bring in the concessions

Nat Gas Man

9/29/20 6:17pm

Absolutely correct.

9/29/20 6:35pm

BYU doesn't care about maximizing concessions profits. They made that very

9/29/20 6:33pm

COMPROMISE. Put backrests on the back of the benches. Would look like this:

for the endzones but put all seats in the grandstands

RE: for the endzones but put all seats in the grandstands

9/29/20 5:31pm

Those rows look wider than those in LES.

BYU'01

9/29/20 6:34pm

Then the complaining would just change from fans griping about bench seats to fans griping about how going to games

unctoothman

9/29/20 6:46pm

Ugh, you can’t use Sam Boyd as an example of good stadium or seating design

9/29/20 8:45pm

Don’t ever make me look at that again. SMH.

Rip out one concourse right after one season, rebuild it & it should be ready after being closed for just one season.

SpiffCoug

9/29/20 6:03pm

Disagree. More people means more noise means better atmosphere.

Count on my support if I can actually sit in the seat number I pay for....

Those bleachers get loud when you stomp them. Opposing teams have commented.

dave

9/29/20 7:32pm

Maybe if we were to make it a complete bowl.

y2kougar

9/29/20 7:57pm

Why rip em out? I enjoy knees in my back and obese people taking up two seats
