I’d attend if the game started earlier

I live in SLC. Getting home at 1 am guarantees my kids won’t attend 9:30 am sacrament mtg.

I’ll take them to afternoon games on Saturdays and the OK St on Friday night. Next year, we have the later church schedule so it won’t be as big of a deal to get home at 1 am and to get up for church on Sunday.

Doesn't 6pm provide the same benefits with the added benefit of getting home with enough time for post game analysis?

Stadium feels different at 8 than 6, almost feels magical at 8

8 is a good start time. 8:30 is pushing it on the lateness. Not for me, but for

Lots of $60 seats. It’d be sold out already at $35

Yep I would buy 3-5 more at $35

W/L is the biggest driver of prices. We are 3-0. Who knows what we will be

PS - worth adding that the cheapest seats on SeetGeek are $62. Which is REALLY high for a game that isn't sold out. I

Sellers always get desperate 24 hours leading up to the game, I suspect we’ll

BYU has priced many of us out of being able to attend games in person.

BYU has priced out most families.

Unfortunately that's the price for being at the big boy table.
