Our stadium being dissed

LES being dissed by Depressed Ginger, gives Utah credit for filling in gaps and throws some shade at BYU for leaving those ugly gaps in LES.
He is correct. Next 5 years BYU needs to fill in gaps.

It needs a façade to cover the stark steel column/beam underbelly.

A facade on one or both of the main stands would help so much. Texas Tech’s stadium is smaller than LES but looks nicer

They save those for recruits and their families. It's tricky to ensure those seats get used each game.
