Update From Deseret News: BYU FanFest Here in Pioneer Park on May 5, 2018

MESA, Arizona "It was hot, but then again it was Mesa in May. The setting was ideal, not only was the recent BYU Fan Fest staged in the iconic Pioneer Park, named after Mormon settlers of the community, but the stately temple was right across the street.
It was almost ironic that the temple was about to be redone, and according to news reports, would be in many ways restored to its past glory. . . "

". . . It is estimated that the temple restoration will take two years, but if BYU football fans are looking for a restoration to past glory, a one-year turnaround would be much nicer.
Thousands of BYU fans attended the well-planned event and enjoyed the array of venues, including a variety of signing booths with BYU men and women athletes and coaches, highlighted by Kalani Sitake and Jeff Grimes.
Along with a cameo appearance by former BYU and Baltimore Ravens star tight end Dennis Pitta, a welcome by Mesa Mayor and former BYU track star John Giles >
