enhancements to the sound system. They would almost have to since pretty much all of the sound equipment is currently in the video board in the north end zone.

Such an old stadium...BYU needs a new one

Then again, I've been to stadiums like Notre Dame and Tennessee and they're really old too

I remember being frozen up in the end zone as BYU lost handily on the hard

It's functional, and much better w/ the walkways connecting the concourses

cougarmeister

I agree it is functional and I agree they aren't going to do anything else

It's a big up-front cost to build fancy suites, and Provo doesn't have many

cougarmeister

I bet you would be surprised who would pay for Suites

That’s very interesting actually. PAGING HOLMOE!

I'm sure Holmoe would love a new stadium

There’s plenty of big money from byu-founded companies.

BYU needs to add a façade to the stadium..

Coug

Maybe when we get into a P5 conference and get that $30M+ boost in annual revenue...

Indy Coug

Or maybe have Provo host the Olympics and pay for LES upgrades

cougarmeister

7/13/21 1:24pm

TCU did theirs before they got the BIGXII invite... or at least started theirs before the they got the invite...

Coug

7/13/21 1:24pm

Or maybe we could just use taxpayer dollars.

Should probably wait to see how NIL affects college sports.

I swear another person I know posted a pic of the new screen being up 🤷

I think the one on the north end is up and was posted awhile ago.

Kavorka

Maybe the North end. And I don't know if it's done or not, that road is closed

cougarmeister

7/13/21 1:16pm

Nope, I just looked out my office window.

That's going to be a really big scoreboard... bigger than I originally thought it was going to be...

Coug

7/13/21 1:13pm

Any word if the sound will be improved?

UVCoug

7/13/21 1:23pm

Haven't heard, but I know LES has some odd limitations as far as sound

cougarmeister

7/13/21 1:30pm

I'm almost certain it is the neighborhood which is ridiculous. If you live near

Is the “angry old rich people” rumor really true?

LifelongAP

Probably has more to do (as per the article) with the design of the stadium

cougarmeister

7/13/21 7:36pm

It was fine before those "upgrades" in 2011.

Take a pic of the north end zone. Way ahead of the south!
