This is the most likely upgrade for LES.

Knock down west, rebuild with the same capacity

Seems very unlikely that they would start by tearing down the most expensive

Expensive, but it's the section of LES that will bring in the most additional $$

I sat in the lux boxes once and I concur - terrible experience. Worst of all,

Seems like a really dumb idea. How would that help BYU football at all?

Big money rolls in for luxury boxes

Jan 5, 12:41am

Not nearly enough to recoup the $700M price tag for 6 whole games/year. I'd rather see that kind of $$$ go toward

I’m guessing the 700 M is for a lot more than just the press box. If we did just

Jan 5, 5:05am

Yes, whole lot. Stadium makes the Rose Bowl look modern.

Still not worth the cost IMO.

You'd have the people who are getting the suites pay for it

Jan 5, 8:36am

You're still missing the point. The well isn't bottomless. If $$$ goes toward that, it's not going for something else

I’m guessing it won’t be named after the all-time winningest coach at Penn State

Such a sad story. A tarnished legacy for sure.

Rebuild the east stands - match the pitch of the end zones,

I would settle for TVs in the food areas

I vote for a new stadium, it is time.

Maybe Ryan Smith can pay for it

The tweet is misleading - it’s $70 Million initially not $700

NIL. Focus on NIL. I love the current stadium as is

ParentingNotForSissy

yes, NIL is the quickest and most sure way to grow the program.

I'm with you. Winning is so much more important to me than a new shiny stadium. After we win a B12 title we can start

$700m is a lot, and more than the $60m in lawsuits paid.
