St. George, Utah — Southern Utah may be painted red for Utah Tech University, but on Saturday afternoons in the fall, royal blue still heavily dominates the landscape. The fanbase for Brigham Young University is massive in Washington County, and staying up to date on BYU football news is practically a local pastime.

If you don't have the Big 12 cable package at home, or if you simply want to experience the energy of a massive crowd, St. George has several excellent venues for watching the Cougars play.

1. Iggy's Sports Grill

Located centrally near the Red Cliffs Mall, Iggy's is the classic St. George sports bar experience. Boasting dozens of flat screens and a massive central projector, there isn't a bad seat in the house. The atmosphere is loud, passionate, and heavily favors the Cougars during rivalry weeks. Expect to arrive at least an hour before kickoff if you want a table, as they do not take weekend game-day reservations.

2. Bout Time Pub & Grub

If you prefer a 21+ environment with cold drinks and excellent pub food, Bout Time is the perfect sanctuary. They subscribe to every major sports package, meaning you will never miss a game regardless of what obscure network the Cougars are relegated to on a given week. The buffalo wings and local draft beer selection are top-tier.

3. Wing Nutz

Wing Nutz offers a distinctly family-friendly game day atmosphere. Their baked (not fried) wings are famously delicious, and they project the biggest games on their large screens. It is loud enough to feel the excitement of a touchdown reception, but relaxed enough to bring younger children who might not last all four quarters.

Tailgate Alternatively: Looking for a more secluded watch party? Many local outdoor outfitters rent portable quiet generators and projector screens. Taking the RV out to Sand Hollow State Park to stream the game under the stars is increasingly popular among locals.

Follow our St. George events calendar during the season, as local booster clubs occasionally rent out movie theaters at the Megaplex for massive, family-friendly watch parties during bowl games or the Holy War rivalry game.
