diversity is a big plus for most fans. At some away games and neutral site games I've had a beer and I haven't seen any adverse reactions from fans.

Love that you're a fan and go Cougs!

Heck no. Some might give you odd looks out of curiosity but plenty of tattoos & piercings & beards in LES stands.

You won't be the only one with tattoos. I bet most people won't even notice

There are plenty of active LDS members there who have tattoos too.

If you're wearing BYU gear, you'll likely be complimented instead
