It’s ridiculous trying to walk between portals and having to weave through concession lines. They need to be twice as wide.

With BYU 🏀 trending up, what would you do to improve the Marriott Center?

Malcolm Reynolds

This is dumb and unnecessary and wouldn't improve anything to the gameday

I've always thought it looks like a really big church building from the 70's.

Make it into an homage to the old Provo Temple design.

That's the old Ogden Temple spire.

Nah, it's the Provo spire before it was painted white and had the Angel Moroni.

Nope.

You are amazing! Can we get a gold basketball at the top?

Tear down the exterior, expand the concourse. That would enhance the gameday experience.

Tesla Coug

This is the correct answer

I think what you mean is that it’s the answer you agree with.😆

This is what I suggested in the end of season questionnaire.

Totally agree, the concourse needs to be expanded, you can hardly walk around

Marriott Center is pretty good as is. Would always be nice to widen the concourse.

I have no complaints with any of those items. Seating has been upgraded already and so has the scoreboard. Food options

It's so fascinating to me that Cupbop can be so slow. They should make all of their employees spend 4 days working

It's funny because the Cupbop station at LES can move people through pretty quickly comparatively. It's so strange that

Yep, those are quality seats

BYU Fan

agreed ... but what's the better way? Isn't what we have the best of our bad options?

HarlemCoug

I have no idea but it baffles me that there isn’t a better way to film the game

BYU Fan

Jun 10, 11:34am

Yup & the empty rows on the other side because of sound & video mixing stations.

I’d love to see the concourse area expanded

Rename it the Ryan Smith Marriott Center or Ryan Smith Court

Dr MoBYU

Jun 10, 11:15am

For a small donation of $100M towards NIL, anyone can have the naming rights to the stadium. Who wants them?

HarlemCoug

Jun 10, 11:24am

It seems BYU is no longer naming buildings after people, so that's probably out.

WHAT???? You want to eliminate NIL donations? Why? How could this possibly get us more wins?

HarlemCoug

It wouldn't. It would reduce the ROC effect and hurt revenue. No positives for

I'm sure it was. The current ROC location is probably also fun... So is winning.

Really just need more room in the concourses.

Rivers Cuomo

Jun 10, 11:32am

Would you rather have donors spend $5M on NIL or $5M making the concourse wider (which will save us all 3 minutes)

HarlemCoug

Jun 10, 11:42am

I think it would need to be part of a larger upgrade with some luxury upgrades.

BYUtka

Jun 10, 1:55pm

Paint the outside royal blue. Or do something to make it look a little less dated.

The only thing they should do is require that food vendors have a 3 transactions per minute output. All other $$$ should

expand the concourse. Put a legitimate fan shop in. Not sure why they don't use

It impacts half time the most. The lines for food block anyone from walking around the concourse.
