My wife and I buy 6 seats and bring 5 people

Two of the people we usually bring weigh less than 70 pounds.

It gives us room when people around us are fat.

Oddly, this year there have been 4 sets to one side of us that have been unused so we spread out quite a bit.

I sort of wish, however, that tight seating would encourage people to lose weight.

This is most major college sports venues. The big house was terrible

Also cheaper than chairs is just buy one extra ticket for every 4 people

Doesn’t solve legroom issue, which is bad.

Haha got it. Buy seats next to me, in front of me and behind me to solve it. Thx

I’d rather stand the whole game than sit in those benches

A guy in the row in front of us had those BYU padded seats with backrest....

I buy the padded seats primarily to better define space.

Why in the world would anybody down vote this? The seating situation sucks at LES. It's time for BYU to reinvest in the

The benches keep ticket prices down. I understand why some would downvote.

Look at the upper bowl Marriott center chair prices. Cheap tickets and NIL.

It’s not great but Notre Dame was even tighter. And knees to backs is worse than the width issue for me.

Neyland Stadium was twice as bad. Terrible stadium.

Oregon did their bench seating right. More space between rows and depth in the

Agreed! Went to my first game last night in a long while. I'm not oversized,

provokid

It will be interesting to see what they do. I think more premium seating is coming.

How soft humans have become. Our ancestors would wrap at our patheticness

Or would they say, you guys haven't come up with better seats than what we had?

Go to a few away games. Like this everywhere. That is part of the experience.

They do have chair $eat$. They are great!

9/25/22 9:29pm

Notre Dame was worse… (used to be)

9/25/22 10:00pm

Yeah, lady next to us started bringing an armchair to put on the bench. You can see about half of one of my seat numbers

jaromp

Make the entire east and west stands chairs. Add a small upper deck to the east

andrewg3

9/25/22 10:20pm

And take away one of the best views in all of college football? No thanks!

Soy Celeste

9/26/22 3:50am

Yeah it wouldn’t be that tall.

andrewg3

9/26/22 6:42am

Any upper deck added on the east side would block the view.

Soy Celeste

9/26/22 8:02am

Honestly I’m more concerned about leg room and passing than width.

Jay_L

Make all lower sections chairs and the upper benches wider between seating #’s

Just install the rental seats permanently. They’re great. And fit fine.

Dr MoBYU

9/25/22 11:45pm

Instead renovating the benches in the seats, the average 40+ CBer should renovate his own figure to fit the benches.

Lose weight and your seat gets bigger.

Turn sideways.
