CBers who insist that LES “is fine” need to realize what BYU is competing with

It would be really cool to have a retractable roof!

Winning is about the guys on the field not the neat places to sit in a stadium

BYU would have to hold money back to pay for the renovation up front

What if the rich guys want to pay players but also want to use other money they will NOT give to players to build a

If they were willing to pay for the new stadium and continue to donate league leading NIL $$$ then the new stadium would

Is the rich guy donating more for an okay suite or a great suite?

I’m not sure he would, BYUs experience seems to be doing just fine

Charles Darwin

Having been in the boxes at LES and RES, LES is nowhere close. BYU feels chintzy

That rich guy is paying his NIL. Keep the rich guys happy!

Too bad their money couldn't buy them better than 7th place in the conference

It can, and likely will eventually.

FSU used to say the same thing. They got complacent & the ACC left them behind

Hmmm. FSU had the transfer portal blow up in their face. They will be back.

“It is fine” just means it needs upgrades, but doesn’t need to be replaced. Few

It’s old and tired, needs to be replaced.

Old, yes. Tired? Nah. Don’t you remember the fans from the Big 12 saying what

Nah. More chair seats would be nice, but not the entire stadium. You can pack

I went to a game at Michigan this year. Bleachers were awful. Make them chairs

The best CFB stadium I've been to has a ton of benches (Kyle field)

Schools would be wise to put as much money as they can into NIL.

Hotty-Toddy-Reb

Putting hundreds of millions into facilities is kind of 10 years ago

deliciousmocha

If it's "kind of 10 years ago" then BYU is at least 10 years behind

I believe TH and KS have already met and have plans for big "improvements".

This ^^ 100%. Staying nimble and debt-free will let BYU react better

We keep saying this, but it's hard to see the benefits. Revenue is up

There's a vacuum atop the Big XII, and the biggest spenders will likely fill it

Add luxury box towers in the corners and build a brick external facade.

Mitty

Jan 7, 5:50pm

The people who buy luxury boxes have told BYU they don't want to be in the corners (nor the end zones).

HarlemCoug

Brick facade is extravagance we don't need. Luxury suites on the other hand...

Do recruits care about this now that NIL is a thing? Or is this to attract
