Overreact much? You don't need to join the CC and might still even get the same or similar seats next year.

They're in the south endzone. Why do you care so much that they're the exact same seats?

Why would someone want to sit in the end zone every year for 40 years?

Because it's a great view. It's what I do

In some respects the sides of the South/North end zones provide the best vantage points.

That must be why all the TV channels use end zone cams.

Hey, I too like an end zone view when my team is on my 5 yard line.

You probably prefer binoculars from the sides zoomed in on QB"s face.

TV angles are horrible and I regularly gripe about it

We've been in the North endzone for 45 yrs now but have moved around to different areas many times.

I actually agree to an extent. But you lost your seats because the demand

College football is about money, not providing discounts to people who demand a bargain.

slappy

Let pretend that BYU didn’t raise their prices. What would happen?

Cougarclaw

Yeah, I sold two of my 6 tickets last week for 4 times the price I paid
