Most Popular Sports
Football is, by far, the most supported sport on campus. The basketball and volleyball teams have done well in past years and, when they are doing well, people go to the games.
Most Overlooked Teams
BYU's rugby team is one of the best in the nation, but their games are surprisingly low attended. Admissions are free and excitement is high, so make sure to check them out!
School Spirit
Cougars are proud to be cougars! Although most BYU students are from out of state, may come from a long line of BYU graduates and have grown up watching BYU sports. School spirit is high on campus, especially when facing BYU's rival, the University of Utah. BYU has Blue and White Week every year, the week of the BYU versus U of U football game. Lots of activities involving school spirit are held around campus every day leading up to the big game. One of the most popular is True Blue, where students can play football and squash around in foam that dyes their skin blue.
Getting Tickets
Tickets are fairly easy to get if you are a student. The only really difficult tickets to score are the University of Utah versus BYU football games. If you buy the All-Sports pass, you basically have access to any home event. These are usually around $80-$90 depending on the year, but make sure to get them in the summer before they sell out!
Best Place to Take a Walk
Hike the Y, walk through Rock Canyon, walk along the Provo River Parkway
