venue than LES?

Is the Utah or BYU football stadium better? Here’s what a Big 12 expert said

What the Locked on Big 12 podcast said about Rice-Eccles Stadium for Utah football and LaVell Edwards Stadium for BYU football.

Drake said the crowd at Rice cheers better? What?

Never having been to Rice, I can't say.

Easier to be loud when you pump in artificial crowd noise

^^^ This. Utahs fake home field advantage. A loud sound system.

So bush league. Truck-stop university.

He's not super reliable on this. Said Utah fans didn't need to be told when to

Ok, this fits more in what I was thinking. I've been to a lot of stadiums where

LES doesn’t have to pump fan noise in.

Drake came to two games: BYU at Utah / SIU at BYU. Definitely an apples to apples comparison 😆

This. Guarantee if you ask him where he’d rather watch a holy war, he’d say LES.

Less kids + more alcohol = louder

The ROC know ball better than the MUSS these days

Wouldn't disagree... but that's about 15% of each crowd

Meh- Rice Eccles had a huge bump from the visiting BYU fans.

That's true. The noise level from BYU fans was impressive!

Drake loved his BYU experience and if he comes next year for the rivalry game, he'll change his opinion.

RES is tolerant of alcohol getting inside.

RES is a newer stadium with multiple upgrades since 2002.

They have to go to something completely subjective because they don't have any

I'd love to hear Drake's analysis if he had worn blue on Saturday.

He didn't say that. He said the intensity was higher at RES. Rivalry week, bowl

Thats like going to Disneyland on a school day in winter, and then Universal Studios on Saturday of a 3 day weekend and
