I’d rather those sports become self sufficient.

Utah packs the Huntsman for gymnastics. Iowa sells out for wrestling. SEC and Big12 schools have softball and baseball being self supported. BYU can do the same for women’s soccer with the success they’ve had the last decades. Nicer revenues attract fans and good recruits.

It’s a win win to keep the successful programs going strong.

Does South Field get sold out every home game?

Not always, but yes on the upgrade. Here's what I'm thinking:

Terrible color.

Is that the inland port in the background?

Yes for those coming from Saratoga Springs and Eagle Mountain

Looks a little big. Most soccer specific MLS stadiums seat 20-30K, right?

The current permanent bleachers seats 4200...

South Field doesn’t need an upgrade. We sold out a few times this year,

The official box score for the UNC match has attendance at 3487. That seems low

That is strange. Possible, but strange.

seems low but still probably accurate because the people who are reporting have

no. Their season starts early before school is in session, and their early

South Field for now is a great venue. We need upgrades to SFH and LES first.

I wager a new venue is more likely than reno of the SFH.

That would make no sense at all, so I hope not.

Yiowa

11/28/23 2:27pm

Why would it make no sense? A bunch of new athletics stuff where Provo high is

By “new venue” you also mean the SFH. I assumed you were saying the SFH would

I think every game from UCLA onward was a sell out this season.

The only upgrade needed is the stands behind goals (ROC)

Concept drawings were done a few years ago. Waiting on funding.

Wouldn't this be super cheap to do? Seems like you could add all the extra

They should incorporate chair seating & boxes to South Field with a rebuilt SFH

They might have a 1% chance of becoming self-sufficient

the challenge is they are not even close to financial self-reliance. So how much
