Show Jturaiay, August BYU Grid 30, 1K4. . Paf- - SJA TilE HERALD, Prove, Utah Programs Get Better It's almost to go to a baseball game and not buy a hotdog. Likewise, football games just aren't football games unless you take along a stadium blanket, binoculars, some snacks and a game program. Last year, BYU's football game programs were voted the best in the states of Arizona, Idaho, Utah, Montana and Wyoming by the College Sports Information Directors of America. BYU's fans apparently agreed, buying the programs in record numbers. The programs sold out for all but two of the five games. According to Val Hale, BYU athletic publications and promotions coordinator, this year's program will be similar to last year's, but will have more color. Also, fans who buy programs will be eligible to win prizes given away by area merchants. An addition to the 1984 programs will be a poster in the centerspread of the magazine. The posters will feature diffour-col- ferent players and coaches and can easily be removed from the program. "The programs will be full of stories about the game, the opponent and key BYU players.'' Hale said. "Also, there will be information about other BYU athletic events. It will be a new magazine with updated material each ml . ALL BUICKS W TI3EY MUST CO jM ?& BYU, Pitt pjj mm w W game. Hale added that the price, $1 per program, is one of the lowest in the country. "Nearly all the major universities and most of the smaller schools are charging $2 for programs,'' Hale said. "We want to keep the cost down so every fan can have access to a program during the game.
