Another point - BYU fans aren't FILLING these tiny arenas up.

We get 10, 15 or even 20,000 BYU fans at some of the west coast football games. Somehow we can't get a tenth of that to pack the WCC venues. It has been nice to hear the "BYU" chants at the arenas, but it isn't packed nearly like what was expected when this was announced.

they jack up the prices for BYU games, and BYUtv in HD is sweet at home.

How much more ? If I lived out there, I'd treat any game w/in a 3 hour drive

I've just paid $40 for upper bench seating. Granted, they're not too bad

Santa Clara seats 4500, and they packed 4900 in on Sat. for their game

That game was definitely the exception rather than the rule thus far

We just don't really fit in the WCC. We need to put B-Ball in a bigger conf
