Our stadium being dissed

byukarl

Jul 25, 7:09am

Yeah, he's right.. t's kind of an ugly stadium that hearkens to the Geneva Steel

80s design that had its day. Agreed time to move on

It needs a façade to cover the stark steel column/beam underbelly.

A facade on one or both of the main stands would help so much. Texas Tech’s stadium is smaller than LES but looks nicer

Tennessee's Neyland stadium used to have that K'nex / erector set look, but they

You’re describing UCF’s stadium. Tiny steal erector set they later covered up

The ONLY thing great about our stadium are the views... It's old, cheaply built and very outdated

Still better the RES though...

RES is getting another tax payer/ Olympic paid upgrade...

Link? Someone posted an article saying no upgrades will be made

KSL says many Olympic upgrades might be temporary, but school planning upgrades

That one thing is pretty great.

Compared to teams with WAC/MWC/Indy budgets it’s pretty amazing

Agree but the huge screen is nice.

I guess I don't really think "wow this is so much better than LES" when I go

Went to the game against Michigan. Was surprised how crappy the stadium was.

Cheaply built?! Spare me

Who cares? Views are Priceless

The views help take the attention off the stadium, but the stadium's

Most college football stadiums aren't all that nice. I'll take LES over most.

Agreed. It’s one of the best in the West, & I’d think top 20 in the country.

Yeah, I've been to the Rose Bowl, Auburn, OkSt, K-State, OU, LSU, Mich, Duke,

I like the gaps.

So you’d date someone with missing teeth?

Jul 25, 7:14am

If you're comparing your date to a football stadium, I'm concerned about both you and your date

You wouldn't date someone that could fit 60,000 people in their mouth?

Agree. It lets air flow in. Games at OU get hot and stinky, the wind at LES

Ill be honest, I don’t care one bit what a guy calling himself “Depressed Ginger” thinks about anything

RealTaysomHill

Jul 25, 7:22am

A misnomer many have about “filling in the corners”

CaliWG

Jul 25, 7:35am

And yet the first 5-10 rows on the east side are not used every game

BYU Grounds

Jul 25, 7:41am

They save those for recruits and their families. It's tricky to ensure those seats get used each game.

HarlemCoug

Jul 25, 7:44am

Yup. It also includes seats specifically for athletes of other sports.

CaliWG

Jul 25, 9:09am

Have people just not been to LES in 5 years? The corners ARE filled in now. What

andrewg3

Jul 25, 10:28am

Corner seats are fine. More lower level seating is always in demand.

CaliWG

Jul 25, 12:10pm

I can’t think of a worse seat for watching football than a lower level corner.

andrewg3

Jul 25, 10:28pm

Corner seats would be the worst seats in the stadium.

Shawarma

Jul 25, 4:16pm

*Upper corner seats would be the worst

You’re thinking of basketball

The Rose Bowl, USC colosseum

Unless they've made major renovations, same with the "big house" at Michigan.

Notre Dame is now incredible because they built fantastic structures around it.

Who cares about how pretty the stadium is? Seriously, it's really dumb. I'd rather BYU spend money on helping the

I'd rather BYU fork over some money for a QB ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

letthewookieewin

Jul 25, 9:01am

If we had a billon to spend then I would want it to be put to NIL.

ParentingNotForSissy

Jul 25, 9:02am

The solution is to fill in the gaps and keep capacity roughly where it's at

Beggar

Jul 25, 9:07am

It's extremely outdated. It might be cheaper to build new rather than update.

Jul 25, 9:47am

I don’t understand why we have to talk about this every six months, it has been explained over and over that the gaps

I don’t got time for some gamer critiquing LES 😂, but yeah I’d like it done too

I don’t have CFP25 but it looks like the Champions Club is missing

andrewg3

Jul 25, 10:15am

What exactly is the cost/benefit on that? Since this video is commenting about aesthetics

Indy Coug

Jul 25, 10:28am

Improving the stadium would be for the 63,000+ who go watch games there. Not

What are the major stadium upgrades that we have done in the past 40 years?

The wifi is pretty good

Is that an upgrade to the stadium? I guess. It is definitely nice. But we have

Major: Legacy section, Corner platforms, Video boards

I'm not sure I would call any of those major. But I am OK with you saying they

Connecting the upper bowl deck in 2019 was pretty significant

Interestingly ESPN just ranked the 'best' stadiums - BYU and LES came in #31

Corners don't need to be filled. BUT individual seats stadium-wide are needed.
