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 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

I was surprised how much of their stadium is benches.Prime spots are still bench

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
