in Legends Hall as a tour guide. Uncle and grandparents had season tickets to multiple sports. She went to games with grandparents regularly. We went to nearly every home football game together years we lived in Utah for about the first decade of our marriage (lived out of Utah 3 seasons), taking kids with us often. Went to other sports too with the kids (basketball, men's and women's volleyball, baseball, softball...)

Then... Crowton ruined it. My wife loves a blowout, BYU blowing out an opponent. She doesn't enjoy a close game as much as I do. I enjoy a close, intense game or a surprising BYU blowout of an opponent (UCLA 59-0, Texas -especially the first time). Crowton's last year ruined football for my wife. It took a year or 2 for her to tell me. Sitting through 2 late night games where BYU was destroyed by CSU and BSU in sleet, snow, rain... all in freezing temps and then the 0-3 white-out loss to Utah. A year or 2 later I commented to my wife that (still going to almost every game with me) she didn't seem to be enjoying the games anymore. She said that those losses in horrible weather really changed things for her. She didn't really enjoy the games after that.

Thankfully the kids by this time were old enough to be good companions at games, so my wife picked a game or 2 each year and I took others to the rest of the games. Recent years she has started going to more games with me again and is back to enjoying the games. Nice to have my wife with me at more games, because she is by far my preferred game date. Also good, because the kids are now older, married and harder to schedule to go with me to games and grandkids are probably a few years from enjoying the games.

Being in the stadium with family in good weather, cheering BYU on to a win is about as good as it gets.

I don't completely schedule life around games. I probably went to about 95% of home football games years I lived in Utah for about 15-20 years. More recent years it is probably down 90% of home games with more conflicting family events (kids performances, kid events, etc.). As mentioned above I have been to lots of other BYU sports events. I actually spend more time on campus recent years when I have only been going to about 90% of the games, because we go lots of performing arts shows, regularly go to the museum of art, etc.

Love BYU. Go Cougars!
