Fans in Provo have long loved heading to LaVell Edwards Stadium.
Now, BYU’s stomping grounds are garnering plenty of national attention as well.
Just a few days after hosting both Fox’s “Big Noon Kickoff” and a 24-21 Cougars win over Utah, Edwards Stadium was ranked among The Athletic’s list of the top 25 stadiums in all of college football.
LaVell’s house came in tied for No. 17 with Army’s Michie Stadium, ranking BYU’s digs the highest of all Big 12 venues.
“One of college football’s most scenic stadiums can thank its position at the foot of the Wasatch Mountain range and its prime view of the 11,000-footer,” wrote Jill Thaw. “On a clear winter night, the sunset reflects rosy, warm light on the snowcaps and across the 62,000 seats (the Big 12’s biggest by capacity).
“Combine that with wholesome tailgates and fans cheering the Cougars on while eating 15-inch maple donut bars, and you’ve got a truly one-of-a-kind experience.
