and have some seats with obstructed views? Brilliant. Nope, they just raise the cost of the current seats to meet demand

Are there any discussions around expanding LES to 70k?

I’d like to see the day we get 100K

The nickname could be close to Michigan's "Big House"

“ROC The House”

Best idea is to fill in the corners, get rid of all benches

RenoCoug

Getting rid of the benches will make the capacity smaller.

WJCougar

That's why you fill in the corners at the same time

Fill in the corners to make up the difference

RenoCoug

Oct 14, 4:33pm

Ah yes....the decades old discussion of filling in the corners.

WJCougar

Oct 14, 4:34pm

By all means, let's upgrade by adding crappy seats.

How do we get bigger if we don't fill in the corner?

RenoCoug

Oct 14, 4:42pm

Up.

On the east side? No way. Take away those views?

RenoCoug

Oct 14, 4:51pm

What are you at the game for. Watching football or the Mountains?

WJCougar

Oct 14, 4:53pm

You could go higher on the east stands and not obscure the views too much.

Too bad BYU chose to take away seats to put in those tables and seats that

Can't fill in the corners (at least not easily). The endzones do not match up with the East and West stands.

ManicBlue

Oct 14, 4:44pm

They don't have to line up to fill it in. Just have to wrap the endzones around until they meet up with the sidelines.

Nope, like this.

Still not worth the cost and won't happen. Give it a rest.

Go ahead. Keep looking even dumber.

I'd rather start from scratch than dump hundreds of millions into an aging LES.

SIU game was sold out. 63,712 announced attendance

WJCougar

I'd rather put a roof on the stadium.

And take away the best view in College Football?

Ol Big Bear

Cool mountains!

WJCougar

Oct 14, 4:55pm

At least shade for the endzones.

CorrectionsCoug

Oct 14, 6:14pm

Yes, who doesn't envy what Syracuse and Idaho have in college football

russkiejedi

Oct 14, 5:16pm

It’s not time. Only after selling out games for several years will it maybe

CougStuckOnTheHill

Oct 14, 4:40pm

Not worth the cost. They'll just raise prices. BYU already has the largest stadium in the B12.

ManicBlue

Oct 14, 4:42pm

yeah if some wealthy person wants to fund that as a vanity project then cool,

cwilke1

Oct 14, 4:46pm

Short answer, No. Longer answer, still no. BYU seems to have gotten it just right this year

kccougar

Oct 14, 4:43pm

They should start by simply filling in the corners in the lower bowl

CaliWG

Oct 14, 5:08pm

Put stacked suites in the corners and above the west side. LES is a great size.

Ron Mexico

I say go big 100k and lower prices
