Maybe they could donate the yellow/orange seats to the Aggies to put in their south end zone, I'm sure that's why they left it empty all these years.

I “accidentally” came across some info on the matter. The seating plans are set to change completely with the student section moving to the baseline and the current student section benches being converted to chair seats (no confirmation on seat color but it sounds like they’ll be blue).

I personally don’t like the idea of moving the Student section to the baseline as it has long been what I love about the Marriot Center, but can understand the reasoning for the move. e.g. more premium seats to sell, mimic other arena setup, recent student section behavior, etc

That kind of sucks. BYU's student section is a great place to watch a game. Baseline loses some perspective.

The very reason they are going for more bucks. Still have the rowdy students, but at lower priced seats.

I'm a little bummed about this. You don't see the Cameron Crazies in the end zones? And when you think of great and loud student sections--which is a huge home court advantage, you dont see them in the end zone seats.
And quite frankly, I am so miffed, still, as an alum, that BYU sold its west side football soul to insufferably silent blue hairs for a mess of pottage. I hate that all those prime seats go to folks who put a small donation that paid off to the seemingly third and fourth generation. Waisted seats. Waisted arrangement. And now, if the above is true what some have said, we are waisting prime seats for the silent people.
Maybe there is some advantage to putting students in the end zones. They can scream and wave and distract from free throw shooting by the opponent. But i think that is over rated as well. BYU student section has seemed to grow stronger the last two years. I would hate to lose that strength by giving them the boot.
Thoughts?

baseline? That sucks. Stupid move if it happens.
