This is dead on - exactly my experience on Saturday

It got to the point that my family couldn’t take it and left early. I’m fine with crowd noise during exciting plays and even the occasional loud speaker song, but when the manufactured noise is so constant, I can’t enjoy the game. It definitely felt bush league. I’ve been to several BYU-Utah games at RES, but I think this one was my last.

Question is why does Utah do it...they don't need to

Not enough is made of the "manufactured noise." Should be illegal

UCF was kind of like that with the loud speakers - only it wasn't the PA guy,

I’m just glad BYU doesn’t turn the stadium into a stupid light show every time

I can’t believe it’s true, that they really make fake crowd noise. That is so

Exactly. It was incredulous. Ask anyone who was there. Ask the band members.

I was sitting in the west stands near the speakers. I could hear the students

What do you call a RES sold out record attendance game of 54,000 in LES?

The noise is artificial for sure. They also mic up the band.

They put mics on the band and crank that up too. PA guy:“A gain of ONLY 2 yards”

We've followed BYU all over the country and the LES game experience is the best.

They were lame in Vegas

Yep. Bush league. I have no interest in going back.

Halftime was cool with a joint effort with both bands playing patriotic songs

I'm pretty sure we let the music rip in LES the same way.

I don’t think so. I don’t remember thinking ”oh man, they shouldn’t do that “

LES does have mics on the band but not the crowd noise
