Nerdiness aside, I am really glad that BYU is trying to up the ante.
Having the band play at the Cougar 45 minutes before the game is a good start. It is the wrong execution, but it is a good start. If I were in charge I think I would encourage everyone to tailgate everywhere, but especially up on campus on the main quad area. Easy access to bookstore (increased sales). Band can perform an hour or so before kickoff at BY statue. Everyone can follow the band down to the stadium as the band plays various cadence beats.
Also, encourage people to tailgate all day, not 2.5 hours before kickoff. And certainly not in the freaking parking lot west of the stadium.
The kickoff "Go Cougars" is a good idea.
The added band/fan participation after first downs is a good idea
Overall, this is the right idea. We need more of this stuff and it needs to continue to get better. I think it will.

Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

Every campus I've been a part of or been to (which I'll admit doesn't go beyond 15 or so) had tailgaiting really close or right next to the stadium, usually in stadium parking lots. It seems to me that Ole Miss is an exception in that the Grove is more in the heart of campus and not right next to the stadium.
I think it would be cool if BYU had more game day festivities on campus, but I don't think people would go for it because they're all sticks in the mud. It seems the administration doesn't want people tailgaiting anyways, and if they do then it should begin no more than two hours before kickoff.

USC is on campus.
The Luckeyes tailgate on campus and off campus but pretty much everywhere except right next to the stadium.
Notre Dame puts all of their game day stuff on campus, right on the quad area (the drunkards cook wieners in the parking lot, but when have you ever heard someone tell you to visit the parking lot when going to a Notre Dame game?).
Florida State tailgates on campus. I spent my entire day walking around the campus, almost none of it walking through the stadium parking lot.
Are you seeing the trend? These schools, that seem to know a thing or two about college football, all share in this thing called tradition, with an alumni base that has a close connection to the school, the band, the mascot, and the campus.
I agree that BYU is a stick in the mud, but there is a clear pattern amongst schools that do it right.

exactly! Having the traditions on campus allows for visitors to get a feel for the University and also provides an opportunity to truly "host" those attending the game. The band playing on campus before the game would be sweet. ND and others do an awesome job of this.
