Rebuild will probably happen in the parking lot directly west of the stadium.

I kinda dread the day we get a new stadium.

The Y's Insider

I don't understand why people think we need a new one.

BYUnerd

11:12am

Yup, doesn't make any sense. Any increase in revenue is negated by the cost to build a stadium.

ManicBlue

Not if it’s all paid for by donors. Infinite ROI for BYU itself.

mulletino

Are you going to pony up the $1B for a new stadium? You'd rather those $$$ go to a new stadium that's not needed instead

ManicBlue

11:40am

I don't really care. Wouldn't be my money. And having a sick stadium is more than just 6 games a year.

smh ...

What did I say exactly beyond what's envisioned in your head? I didn't say build some Jerry Dome. That's on you.

BYU uses the stadium literally 7 or 8 times a year for public events, 9 every

We're already largest in the Big12. We need to expand stadium for inevitable B1G invite that we've snatched from Utes

CLCougar

SEC invite. But close enough.

SEC has shown no interest to expand geographical footprint to the west

Because parts of it are sinking already and there are several “soft” spots in the structure

Don't need a new stadium... just need the East and West stands rebuilt

With current precast and cast in place options. They could tear down and rebuild

Soil stabilization usually needs to happen when the ground is thawed

runningryan

Yes that’s true. It likely would cost a lot more. There are also a variety of

Millhouse

Good point. Is the soil across the street under the big lot any more stable?

What do you mean by "unstable"?

This financial future will happen with or without a new stadium.

Ted Lasso

I think the stadium will be revamped but will not be replaced.

I wouldn’t worry about this too much. You’ll be 95.

Tear down the old provo high school and build it there

CougarGuy84

That's where the med school is going.

cmoney

11:18am

Build it on top of the medical school.

Florwood

11:18am

Medical school won’t take up that much land

runningryan

11:25am

Don’t confuse a medical school with a teaching hospital, think law school size.

Even if you imposed JRCB on that land there is a lot more left

runningryan

RE: Even if you imposed JRCB on that land there is a lot more left

runningryan

There isn't enough space there anyways. Needs parking around it as well.

Parker Schnabel

I get the sentiment, but stadiums don't last forever. Change is inevitable.

LES was built on the cheap in a time when stadiums were utilitarian in nature

Rock Canyon is nice and all, but I’ve already dreamed of building a massive stadium in Rock Canyon. The crowd noise

LifeLongLakerFan

Is there a legit structural reason why the stadium we have won't last?

VenomFarmer

I just read running Ryan's kind of answered that.

I have read somewhere that the structural integrity of the steel is only rated

I wonder if The Church wants to upgrade BYU's stadium before the 2034 Olympics.

WillsPitStop

I don't want a new stadium if it means losing seating capacity.

Is a new stadium being discussed? This is the first time hearing about it.
