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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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