I realize winning fills seats, but I'd love to see it at 70k plus. With 2 sellouts so far (and I'm guessing a sellout for Ok St.), and 61k+ for Southern Illinois; not to mention Big12 home games every season...seems like it might be time.

I’d like to see the day we get 100K

The nickname could be close to Michigan's "Big House"

“ROC The House”

Best idea is to fill in the corners, get rid of all benches

Getting rid of the benches will make the capacity smaller.

WJCougar

That's why you fill in the corners at the same time

Fill in the corners to make up the difference

RenoCoug

4:33pm

Ah yes....the decades old discussion of filling in the corners.

WJCougar

By all means, let's upgrade by adding crappy seats.

How do we get bigger if we don't fill in the corner?

RenoCoug

4:42pm

Up.

On the east side? No way. Take away those views?

RenoCoug

4:51pm

What are you at the game for. Watching football or the Mountains?

WJCougar

You could go higher on the east stands and not obscure the views too much.

Too bad BYU chose to take away seats to put in those tables and seats that

Can't fill in the corners (at least not easily). The endzones do not match up with the East and West stands.

ManicBlue

4:44pm

They don't have to line up to fill it in. Just have to wrap the endzones around until they meet up with the sidelines.

I'd rather start from scratch than dump hundreds of millions into an aging LES.

SIU game was sold out. 63,712 announced attendance

WJCougar

I'd rather put a roof on the stadium.

And take away the best view in College Football?

Cool mountains!

WJCougar

At least shade for the endzones.

CorrectionsCoug

6:14pm

Yes, who doesn't envy what Syracuse and Idaho have in college football

It’s not time. Only after selling out games for several years will it maybe

Not worth the cost. They'll just raise prices. BYU already has the largest stadium in the B12.

ManicBlue

4:42pm

yeah if some wealthy person wants to fund that as a vanity project then cool,

Short answer, No. Longer answer, still no. BYU seems to have gotten it just right this year

They should start by simply filling in the corners in the lower bowl

Put stacked suites in the corners and above the west side. LES is a great size.

I say go big 100k and lower prices
