Intervention Needed
I know you have other arguments in there but LES is bigger than ASU & U of A's
Stadiums. Husky stadium is only 7k larger than LES.
The Rose Bowl is the only stadium that fits your description of 15k or more seats.

BYU is ranked, undefeated, coming off an 11-1 year, hosting a ranked opponent, and still can't sell out?

This rating costs $0.20/day

Maybe we should've bought tix for fans instead of donating to Todd Noall

I am not sure fans are convinced quite yet that this will be a special season. One more win and the talk will build.

BYU decided they would rather maximize revenue than sell out. Drop prices and it

$55 against a P5 opponent is about as cheap as it gets anywhere.

That's not expensive. After removing student seats, putting 50k butts in seats for a ranked vs ranked game should not be

Says the Dentist who loves BYU football. For a sellout you need casual fans to have a reason to come. $20 a ticket

For those games, all are being played in stadiums 15k seats or more bigger than LES. There is less demand. Games aren't

The goal isn't to sell out. It's to maximize ticket sales revenue.
