One family is traveling from Omaha to Provo to attend the BYU-Texas State game on Saturday night. Seth McCune posted a video on his twitter account on Thursday of him and his wife surprising their kids with a trip to Provo to watch BYU's game on Saturday. The kids were surprised to say the least and their reactions were priceless:

Saturday night will represent the first 2020 home game where BYU fans will be allowed to watch in person. Approximately 6,000 fans will be in attendance on Saturday night.

BYU hopes to increase attendance at future home games:

BYU will consider increasing attendance at future home games as the season progresses based on the new state COVID-19 Transmission Index Metrix and the guidance of state and county public health officials. The Cougars currently have five games remaining on the 2020 football schedule, including four home contests with Texas State, Western Kentucky, San Diego State and North Alabama as well as one road game at Boise State.
