Considering we used to pack the place regularly with 22,000 screaming fans,

One added factor is our BBall tickets are very inexpensive relative to others.

Provo has a ton of stuff to do. That's how we lured in Ty Detmer.

You usually get what you pay for. If you are patient, you can find good deals

Mostly various bars & clubs. They tend to be rather popular outside of Utah

DapperDan

True. But drinking isn't exactly some vast array of new activities to do.

I would further add that if you complain about not having enough to do in a

Provo is awesome. And Utah in general offers a ton. Life is great there

2/5/16 12:06pm

Agreed. I enjoyed my time there. Except for the weather. The weather is turrible

What's sad is BYU Volleyball has higher attendance than most WCC B-Ball teams.

Why don't they play in the Marriott Center? Other schools use their bball
