Background - Brigham Young University Cougars
LaVell Edwards Stadium, with its 65,000-seat capacity, huge video scoreboards and immaculate press boxes, is home to legendary BYU football.
The original Cougar Stadium was built in 1964 with a seating capacity of 45,000 (including temporary bleachers placed at each of the end zones). It was expanded in 1982 to seat 65,000 in permanent seating areas and included 42 ticket gates. With the retirement of legendary head football coach LaVell Edwards after the 2000 season, the stadium was renamed in his honor.
Since its expansion in 1982, the stadium has consistently ranked among the nation's top 25 in attendance. Some of the stadium's well-known features include a box-bowl seating configuration, a grass playing surface and a four-level press box.
The Field
The field is covered with a sand-based natural turf capable of draining eight inches of rain per hour. The well-kept grass field is consistently deemed one of the best in the country.
Press Box
In 1982, 1988 and 1997 the Football Writers Association of America cited BYU for its "outstanding press box working area."
The LaVell Edwards Stadium press box has been named the "Provo Marriott" by the media who cover BYU football. Rising over 10 stories high, the four-level press box is located on the west side of the stadium and runs the entire length of the stands.
Levels one and two of the press box contain 42 private loges, each one equipped with 12 padded chairs, a television, radio, telephone, refrigerator, sink and game programs. The BYU President's box, which includes 163 padded chairs, five television sets and a buffet area, is also located on the first floor.
Level three is reserved for the print and electronic media along with all the game operators. The statistics, public address, sound and scoreboard controls are all located on the third level. Approximately 300 people work on the third level during games.
Level four is primarily used for television game filming.

 The Early Years
BYU football hasn't always had the luxury of Cougar Stadium. When BYU began its football program in 1896, pasture lands and city parks were the playing fields. In the early 1900's, a rocky field was cleared and a grandstand erected where the Joseph Smith Building now stands.
In 1928, the next Cougar playing field was built where the Stephen L. Richards Building now stands. By using the hillside for seating, the spectator accommodation was increased from a few hundred to five thousand.
As BYU football increased in popularity, the university was forced to find yet another location for a stadium. Groundbreaking for the current stadium commenced in October, 1963. The initial seating capacity was set at 28,812 but soon increased to 35,000.
Last Expansion
As a result of increased seating demands, BYU made yet another renovation in 1982, adding stands to the north and south end zones, lowering the field eight feet and removing the track surrounding the field (which hosted the 1967 and 1975 NCAA Track and Field Championships).
The stadium expansions increased the seating capacity to over 65,000. The crowd of 64,253 that gathered for BYU's first game in the expanded stadium on September 25, 1982 was reported at the time as "the largest gathering ever in Utah history."
Scoreboards
In 1996, a 23 x 31 foot video scoreboard wall, showing both live action and instant replays, was added above the stands by the south end zone.
A new animation board and sound system was also added to the scoreboard above the north stands.
Other Uses
Besides the regular season football games, LaVell Edwards Stadium is also used for a variety of other purposes. Music concerts have been hosted there as well as the annual "Stadium of Fire", the July 4th Spectacular held as part of America's Freedom Festival.
LaVell Edwards Stadium is also the home of high school playoff games and the Rocky Mountain Band Competition every year.
BYU Hall of Fame
The BYU Athletic Hall of Fame in the Cougar Club Room is located in LaVell Edwards Stadium. The room is used for pre- and post-game activities as well as for meetings and banquets during the year.
In addition to the many office areas, LaVell Edwards Stadium stores campus surplus furniture, maintenance vehicles and one of North America's largest Jurassic dinosaur collections.
