I got the pre-installed chairs for the first time this year

A lady further down the row was complaining that we all needed to move down because she didn't have enough space. I was able to just point out that we were definitely in the right spot, and our chairs are zip tied to the bleachers, so we weren't moving anywhere.

Fortunately the people in front of us got the pre-installed chairs as well, so we had decent leg room.

They should really just make those standard, it would eliminate a lot of nonsense.

Stadium chairs

Get security to enforce requirements at the gate & the problem goes away. They can take away outside food or drink but

Text the stadium staff to come remove it.

ManicBlue

Too much work and slows down the gate. They need a complete ban.

CSoul

9/3/23 11:48pm

They allow clear bags but not big non-clear. NBD to spot a big chair.

Soupie

Not near as easy. You would need to measure. And it's not just size, it needs to lock in place. The people

CSoul

Do they whip out a measure tape for every carry-on at the airport? You can tell & few are close enough to measure.

Soupie

9/4/23 12:13am

They allow only 5”x8”x1” clutch bags. They don’t have the NFL clear bag policy.

rainorsnow

That's different then. Had a big clear bag push before. IDK I'm a pockets only person.

Soupie

9/4/23 12:05am

They did not enforce at game. Saw multiple people with large bags clear and not

Easiest solution: ban outside chairs. If you want a chair you have to get the

rainorsnow

9/3/23 11:05pm

Agree, and another easy solution is for people not to be so inconsiderate

yahtzee

9/3/23 11:33pm

Won't happen ever among over 60k people

9/3/23 11:53pm

Shucks, I really thought we'd eliminate inconsiderate people altogether

yahtzee

9/4/23 12:09am

It’s true. And “considerate” is fluid

cajuncoug

9/4/23 8:27am

This isn't an easy solution. If you know people...

9/4/23 4:24pm

I wasn't being literal. It SHOULD be easy, but for the reasons you point out

yahtzee

9/4/23 4:27pm

If BYU saw this as an issue the solution is easy. Only seats allowed are through

Cougsanity

9/4/23 6:34pm

It's clear I wasn't clear, so let me try again: I agree that BYU should ban

yahtzee

9/4/23 8:10pm

They have to do this imo. Trying to enforce seats at the gate with older people is not fair to the workers.

CSoul

9/3/23 11:49pm

Best possible solution

babybroker

9/4/23 6:08am

Or you can only allow their brand, official BYU, chairs.

canofpicante

9/4/23 8:26am

I had to have a talk with a lady in front of me. I was calm but let her know how

9/3/23 11:05pm

Yeah. It's ridiculous. Ban 'em. Rent one inside or go without.

KCFan85

I have issue with the extra wide chairs with arm rests. They take up 2 spots.

spugeddy24

9/3/23 11:10pm

Like this? Utter nonsense.

Soupie

9/3/23 11:14pm

Sheesh

JuicyJam

Not quite but that’s awful.

spugeddy24

I've never been so uncomfortable at a game as last night.

IdahoCoug

9/3/23 11:14pm

Find a picture of what they look like on Amazon. We need to create a list and have a campaign to LES security.

Soupie

9/3/23 11:17pm

Too hard to enforce and turn people away. What are they gonna do…just tell folks

rainorsnow

9/3/23 11:24pm

Already have requirements. Put them in a holding place to pick up after the game. Stroller corral maybe. They'd learn

Soupie

9/3/23 11:27pm

Too much personal property for BYU to “take care of” plus people will go pick up

rainorsnow

9/3/23 11:55pm

What, you don't think 5000 unlabeled chairs randomly sitting around wouldn't work out?

CSoul

9/3/23 11:57pm

Other college stadiums do just that. We had to check a chair once

Conan

9/4/23 4:33am

No metal is easy to enforce. BYU would have to move to something like that. Size and lock in ability would be

CSoul

9/4/23 10:12am

They can always walk them back to their car. Advertise the heck out of it like they did w/ clear bags.

Soupie

9/4/23 12:02am

Yeah outside food isn't allowed. Don't allow chairs.

JuicyJam

9/3/23 11:35pm

They have a bag check, and they could check in their non conforming seat

Mabuhay Coug

9/4/23 3:47am

Yes, go back to their cars.

That brings up another problem with outside chairs…people do not always respect

rainorsnow

9/3/23 11:32pm

This & oversized people, if you can’t fit in the 18” width- buy 2 seats.

DoctorEvil

9/3/23 11:41pm

It's time for all professional and college stadiums to do away with bleachers.

Scratch

9/4/23 1:05am

or even just put backs on the bleachers.

ManicBlue

9/4/23 1:11am

Careful. You’ll get the geology guy telling you that chairs weigh too much for

MisterFundamentals

9/4/23 7:06am

When it reduces capacity will you be giving up your seats?

Eggguy

9/4/23 10:11am

No, because my season tickets are already in chairs.

Scratch

Like these???

Way over size limit.

I hate inconsiderate people.

Think of others. Don’t be jerks

These are very similar to what the 4 people in front of us had that I mentioned above.

IdahoCoug

The four on front of us made it impossible for people to walk...

They need to shame them on the Jumbo tron. What would get more submissions

Cougsanity

Had a friend in attendance. Newly-blended family. First game for some of them

cajuncoug

Should be standing most of the time anyway! 😄

GangstaLean

9/4/23 8:38am

Backless bleachers should be banned. They’re entirely uncomfortable. At a minimum they should have a back.

Spiff

9/4/23 8:54am

On the west side they've added chairs to the benches. Need to do that everywhere

Loyal2Royal

9/4/23 9:59am

Just part of west side.

Just as inconvenient -stand up, people touching with the BYU issued chairs. IT
