BYU Basketball 26-27: The Branch Presidency

[Moliere]

that's great for width, but I don't think addresses the row pitch issue in the upper bowl. Last time I sat in upper bowl chairs with BP's mom was KY's first season I still had the issues I'm describing.

Yeah, when they remodeled the Marriott Center back in 2012? they increased the lower bowl seat pitch by 6-8 inches. Upper bowl seat pitch didn’t get any such love.

The original Marriott center had notoriously stingy seat pitch and it was rumored that Ernie Wilkinson, who was only 5’5”, personally approved it after he sat in the test seats and said they felt fine.

I recall being quite uncomfortable at graduation in the lower seats because of the stingy leg room.

Did you high rollers get the seats you wanted? My selection time is tomorrow. Two days ago inventory looked great but it shrunk significantly since then. I probably won't be in chairs but as I noted previously upper-level chairs are not my favorite. I'm just hoping I'm not as close to the rafters as last year.

Dude I am so sorry. I got my tickets 30 minutes ago. I logged in yesterday and felt pretty good with the options. Lower bowl seats are gone but lots of upper bowl chair seats on the lower rows. Logged in today and most of the upper chairs are gone. I was able to get some on row 11 in a corner, but I would be surprised if there are any left by tomorrow. Sheesh!

I got mine Tuesday afternoon. I was able to get 4 tickets together, 4 is my limit, in Section 6 I think at the top row for the lower bowl-so I guess that means very few stairs for me this year...letsgofatties! When I ordered it seems that there were quite a few seats in lower bowl but mostly in sections behind the hoop and a few options in the corner section. I preferred Section 12, I think, but BYU wouldn't let me buy in that area as the options were in rows with 5 open seats and they won't sell 4/5 and leave an open seat and they also won't let me buy 5 so unless I dropped my order number I couldn't buy there. So I am happily back to the lower bowl-although at the top. Last season my seats were 3 rows below the top of the Marriot Center. I did improve my standing within Cougar Club so between that and the lowering of number of seats other levels could purchase seems to have worked for my situation.

Slightly better seats than last year. Last year I sat in the corner-ish behind the visitors bench. This year I sit in the corner-ish behind the BYU bench but moved up a couple of rows.

I got a slightly better location than last year. Last year I was 5 rows from the top of the arena. this year I am 11 rows from the top and on an aisle. But I only have 2 seats instead of the four I had last year.

What CC level are you? Just wondering where the lower bowl cut off this year.

I moved up from the top 10% of Level II in 2025 to about 75% in Level III in 2026. My guess is the lower bowl sold out to the top 10% of Level II.
