PROVO, Utah — With the start of the 2026 BYU Football season just two weeks away, several stadium enhancements are ready to elevate the experience for recruits, players and fans at LaVell Edwards Stadium.
New PACS Recruit Lounge
Located under the east stands, a newly constructed recruiting lounge will serve as a central hub for recruits and their families visiting LaVell Edwards Stadium for a BYU Football game. The lounge will feature new seating, food and beverage options and entertainment areas.
The new space is sponsored by PACS and will provide the BYU Football recruiting staff with another resource to create an exceptional and memorable experience for recruits and their families.
Home Locker Room Upgrade
The BYU home locker room at LaVell Edwards Stadium was renovated this offseason, providing the team with upgraded features and resources, including new lockers, technology, player amenities and other improvements.
The day-to-day BYU Football locker room in the Student Athlete Building was renovated in 2021. The visitors’ locker room at LaVell Edwards Stadium was upgraded prior to the 2024 season.
LaVell’s Lounge
New this season, LaVell’s Lounge will provide a new hospitality and hosting space just off the upper concourse platform between the west and north stands, under the west stands.
The space is sponsored by Qualtrics and replaces Gridiron Grill West and will provide an updated setting for BYU Athletics guests and corporate partners. LaVell’s Lounge will feature an expanded concessions menu, with new seating, TVs, décor and other amenities.
The new lounge is designed to provide guests with an elevated hospitality experience while adding another gathering space to LaVell Edwards Stadium.
Northwest Platform / Future PACS Pavilion
Extensive construction took place over the past several months in the northwest portion of the stadium, where the previous infrastructure connecting the west and north stands was removed and rebuilt. The new platform features a deeper foundation designed to support the addition of a new, two-story premium club that will occupy the space.
While the northwest platform is newly constructed and ready for the 2026 season, construction of the PACS Pavilion will begin following the 2026 season. The two-story premium club is expected to be completed in time for the 2027 season.
