I’m gonna throw out a guess:

Average stadium bench space per seat is 18 inches and an Average man’s shoulder width is 16.1 inches. If your shoulders are much wider than 18 inches then you’re a very significant outlier statistically. Given the fact America is one of the most obese countries in the world, it’s more likely that you are obese than a body builder. I suspect that your shoulder width is effected by your weight, that you most likely need to lose weight. Am I wrong? 🤷‍♂️

Average Shoulder Width and How to Measure Yours

The U.S. census at one time took shoulder width measurements, but since this hasn’t happened in more than 30 years, where does that put the average shoulder width of adults now? We look at numbers over the years and explain how you can take the same measurements at home.

It’s time to address the bench issue at LES

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.

Buy 5 tickets in the row in front of you too

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

cougarbart

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

WJCougar

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

9/25/22 8:15pm

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.

9/25/22 8:26pm

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,

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

RUNBYU1

9/25/22 9:09pm

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.

Stop selling Cougar Tails, 2,200 calories. Yikes!

I apologized for my weight gain yesterday. Must I keep apologizing?! Lol

But then they'd have to actually follow the spirit of the WoW

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

9/25/22 10:12pm

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

9/25/22 11:17pm

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

Cougs4Lfe

9/25/22 11:27pm

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.

canofpicante

Turn sideways.
