And then it seems there might be another couple thousand scattered around after that. BYU could easily build a similar stadium structure that would be like some of the High School stadiums here in Texas. Set capacity at 6k to 8k.

Is that the inland port in the background?

Looks a little big. Most soccer specific MLS stadiums seat 20-30K, right?

South Field doesn’t need an upgrade. We sold out a few times this year,

South Field for now is a great venue. We need upgrades to SFH and LES first.

I wager a new venue is more likely than reno of the SFH.

That would make no sense at all, so I hope not.

Why would it make no sense? A bunch of new athletics stuff where Provo high is

I think every game from UCLA onward was a sell out this season.

The only upgrade needed is the stands behind goals (ROC)

They should incorporate chair seating & boxes to South Field with a rebuilt SFH

I’d rather those sports become self sufficient.

They might have a 1% chance of becoming self-sufficient
