LaVell Edwards Stadium, Football stadium in Provo, United States.
LaVell Edwards Stadium is a football facility on Brigham Young University's campus that accommodates roughly 63,000 spectators in concrete seating areas. The structure features open-air stands at both ends and sits in a setting surrounded by university buildings and mountain views.
The stadium opened in 1964 with an initial capacity of around 28,800 seats and underwent several expansions over the following decades. It received its current name in 2000 as a tribute to longtime BYU football coach LaVell Edwards.
The stadium serves as a gathering place where BYU fans come together to celebrate their team and share in the university's traditions. Game days bring families and supporters who participate in the cheering and rituals that define the community's connection to the program.
The venue sits on campus and is easiest to reach from nearby parking areas where digital passes are required for entry. Visitors should arrive early on game days to secure parking and remember that bags and large backpacks are not allowed inside the stadium.
Until 2005, the grounds beneath the stadium held one of North America's largest collections of Jurassic-era fossils before they were moved to a university museum. This remarkable assemblage offered visitors an unexpected scientific connection to the venue's history.
