It would be good. But it might also require shutting down a lot of roads during the game.

That happens in every major college football city on game day

In his configuration that does not seem possible. Utah Valley Hospital is an L1

Penn State has a similar issue

There is already a development plan for this. Not sure it is approved though.

Any links? I’d be interested in learning more

Yeah, where's this info coming from?

Evidence?

A friend of mine at BYU has seen the plans

was he permitted to handle them and examine the engravings as well?

What are BYU's plans with the Provo High school land?

Crazy how smart that decision looks right about now. Real estate prices have

I don't think BYU owns the land you marked for parking.

mudpupper

3/31/23 9:02am

Take the field house parking and turn it into a parking garage.

Mostlyaccurate

If he has billions to spend, I say go for it

mudpupper

Yeah i was wondering if BYU owned that land west of Freedom

CrashMcLarson

3/31/23 9:06am

I'm pretty sure they don't

mudpupper

3/31/23 9:07am

It could be bought from the city

runningryan

3/31/23 9:08am

I think they should buy out McDonalds as well and shift the proposed parking to the north to meet with Cougar Blvd.

It is owned by the Hospital and School district

THey dont. That is owned by the city, and is where the Provo School District

It is owned by Provo SD

The city has nothing to do with the school district. Just the same names

How is this $4-5B? An NFL stadium is $900M, and BYU would probably be half that

Skeptical Optimist

NFL stadiums cost more than that now

I don’t think it will happen. I think byu still goes out of sports long term

Idacoug

In this case runningryan is footing the bill so its all good!

mudpupper

3/31/23 9:12am

Lol. He’s not paying for it.

Really?Do you mean he doesn’t have $4-5B? I thought he was really going to build

So you think BYU will become some random unknown religious school, like BYUI?

I’ll repeat

The church is clearly fine with running profitable businesses. I don't see why

The Chief

Like the stadium expansion in the early 80s, it will be funded by private donors

Parker Schnabel

Why would BYU do everything possible to get into the B12 if they were doing away

Blue for Life

3/31/23 2:01pm

Honestly, 50-55k horseshoe opening towards the mountains would be pristine.

rtNelson

3/31/23 9:13am

My thoughts exactly.

runningryan

3/31/23 9:14am

A field that runs East and West? No thank you.

IdahoCoug

3/31/23 9:16am

It wouldn’t need to run E to W

runningryan

3/31/23 9:17am

You could have it North-South with the opening facing Timpanogas

The Dark Knight

This would require the field to run east-west, right? Plus there’s a hill and

Turnpike Lane

3/31/23 9:38am

Maybe. We'll see how the next few seasons go.

rtNelson

3/31/23 10:19am

Plus, the mountains are to the east. Stadiums run north/south so the sun isn’t

Coug-Ida

3/31/23 10:13am

Huh? Really. No horseshoe and increase capacity. Luxury Suites and 70K seating.

SnickSnack

3/31/23 11:15am

Let's do 70k instead.

AntiSNOT

BYU could do it cheap. Could just have a few EQs move everything to new site.

RossoNeri

3/31/23 9:15am

They could move both video boards over which should help with the overall cost.

Dat_rmishner

3/31/23 12:15pm

They could call Ute fans as service missionaries for free labor on the build.

BYU could also acquire the diagonal south of Cougar Blvd. and north of the field

Or they could build straight west on the adjacent parking area and convert the

Don't think the Hospital would like their parking lots used for game parking.

Can you imagine the amount of food McDo would sell if they had a crazy deal on game days??!! Like $1 Big Macs or

Good idea. They could then repurpose the land LES currently sits on.
