Guest commentary: How to spice up BYU football's game-day experience

Quick, name one BYU football game-day tradition — other than your own.

Maybe you thought of the Cougar Walk. Or maybe you've never heard of it. Tail-gating? Sort of. Ringing the Victory Bell? Sure. How about the marching band's halftime show?

Meh.

The point is, there aren't really any big game-day traditions for BYU football. That's not to say traditions don't exist, or that fans aren't enjoying themselves. And nothing against the band’s halftime show. But Provo seems to lack the kind of college football atmosphere that makes fans treat games as all-day events or fill the stadium to capacity on a regular basis.
