Fans are really nice, and will engage in “playful” banter throughout the game. If you sit with BYU fans, you’ll enjoy the game better (win or lose). 🙂

If you sit in your section, you’ll probably get free BYU creamery ice cream.

If you’re staying in SLC I’d opt for the Grand America, Hotel Monaco, or the downtown Marriott.

RalphWiggam

You can also take the bus to center street from the stadium

Little America across from Grand is good too if you stay in the tower.
