But it wouldn't work for me to take a family of seven from Ogden to Provo and then get them up to the stadium, etc. Fighting traffic and parking woes would be simpler and less expensive out of pocket.

While FrontRunner won't reduce congestion noticeably but it won't be slowed by congestion either. In my case I would be traveling alone (or possibly with one other person) because everyone I go to games with still lives down close to BYU - they could pick me up at the station or I could catch a bus or walk. I'm confident that FrontRunner would be a better way to catch a game than driving myself and trying to find parking in Provo on game day. Actually, it should be just fine for me.

The number of people that can be handled in an hour on that line isn't high enough to reduce congestion. It might make sense if you are traveling alone, but if you are with a few other people (like your family members), it will be cost prohibitive. There's also the issue of getting from the FrontRunner station to the stadium, etc. In reality, you will not want to ride FrontRunner to BYU games, just like you wouldn’t want to use it for going to General Conference.
