I attended a "Big 12 After Dark" BYU football game against Kansas State. It was BYU's first game as…read morea member of the Big 12. And, this was my first visit to Provo, Utah and to LaVell Edwards Stadium. It was an 8:30pm kickoff and this was also a "White Out" game where every BYU fan in attendance was instructed to wear white. I had the time of my life!!! Granted, I am too old to be a student, but just being a college football fan in general, LaVell Edwards Stadium had it all. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!!! There were so many memorable moments, I'm still feeling on Cloud 9 from it all! Where to start?????? - The setting!! From the home side of the stands, you have a gorgeous mountain range view hanging in the distance. It's one of the best backdrops in college football!! Maybe THE BEST!! The scenery was stunning! But in a way, no surprise. Utah's landscape never ceases to amaze. For the 8:30pm kickofff, they allowed fans inside the stadium 2 full hours ahead of time. This gave me ample opportunities to walk around and explore. I bought my ticket on TickPick (as usual). It was $53 which I think was cheap. Both BYU and Kansas State (who has a solid football reputation) were 3 - 0 heading into this game. And for a primetime showing on ESPN, $53 was well worth the price of admission, lol. Before entering, they had the "Cougar Walk" where fans greeted the players as they entered the stadium. That was exciting. I made sure to take a photo with the Cougar Statue right outside. Btw, I parked along the side street at the BYU Botany Pond, about a one mile walk from LaVell Edwards Stadium. This way I didn't have to pay for parking. LaVell Edwards Stadium has a seating capacity of 64,000 and for this game...it was a sellout. That brings me to my next point... - Crowd energy and noise! I was mighty impressed with BYU's fans and students bringing the noise and showing their passion for the Cougars. Every third down on defense had fans standing and rooting for BYU to make a stop. I also appreciated the BYU Fight Song which was playful and all the fans knew the chant. Opening introductions were fantastic with fireworks lighting off and getting things started. And...at the end of the game when BYU won convincingly, there was a terrific 5 minute fireworks display that finished the celebrations on the perfect note. I also need to mention how when ending the 3rd quarter and entering the 4th quarter, the Cougar mascot got the stadium rocking with a pounding of the drums while fans responded and clapped along. It reminded of the "Skol Chant" at US Bank Stadium for the Minnesota Vikings. Another thing to mention was my seat...I sat in Section NN and Row 36 which was the last row of the visiting side of the stands. Yet...the views of the game from this Row 36 were awesome! I could see all the action perfectly. And just glancing around at the rest of the bowl that comprised LaVell Edwards Stadium, it appeared like wherever you sat, you were able to follow every play from any vantage point. Whoever designed this place did an outstanding job, lol! In the end, for attending a BYU football game here at LaVell Edwards Stadium, it had to be one of the most electric and exciting atmospheres I have ever been to for a sporting event. I loved every moment. And this is why I live for college football! Thank you Brigham Young University for having me.

I went to BYU as a student 9 years ago, and go back every couple of years for a football game. I…read morehave mixed feelings about LaVell Edwards Stadium: THE GOOD - In terms of the stadium backdrop, it is one of (if not the best) in college football. Absolutely stunning views of the Wasatch Mountain range on the east side of the venue. - The fan fest space outside the stadium is incredible compared to what it was a decade ago -- with BYU's policy against alcohol on campus, having food trucks and activities for fans to participate in is a great way to get involved on game day. - The in-game experience (music, fireworks, 3rd quarter break) is very engaging and fun for fans. THE BAD - While there have been several updates made to the stadium (connecting the upper concourse all the way around the stadium and adding stairwells to get up), it still feels like a very old concrete heap. There are no good uses of tech in the stadium -- no heating or misters to control temperature of walkways, no escalators to move people up and down between concourses quickly, and no TVs to give fans views of the game while they're on the concourse. - The stadium has arguably the worst foot traffic flow of any venue I've ever been to. Thousands of people stack up in the concourse waiting for bathrooms and drinking fountains, even more stack up trying to exit the portals at halftime and the conclusion of the game. It's a serious evacuation hazard, and it's brutal to get anywhere before the game, during HT, and after the game. - Parking close to the stadium is also nearly impossible unless you are a season ticket holder (designated parking lot) or get to the stadium 5 hours early. Everyone else parks in the neighborhoods to get a close spot, which makes the traffic after games painfully slow. Fun place to see a game every once in a while, but this place has some major flaws holding it back from making it what could be one of the best overall venues in sports.

This cozy venue packs a punch and does a fantastic job of hosting musical events. The ushers are friendly and efficient-they made sure to get people in and out timely so we could enjoy the show and then be on with our lives. My only complaint, as shared by others, is the parking situation. There's not much by way of street parking and what is available gets gobbled up quickly. As long as the nearby businesses don't mind sharing, you can park a block away and walk. No big deal when the weather is nice.

Unfortunately, I find that they typically are hitting miss with their performances, and certainly a long ways off from the ideal gallery space for (artist) in the community.

As you come in to the left where they used to be Brian kershisnik's work is now a mishmash of photos on canvas that are not in a professional way in few of them if any of our level.

I think I was hoping for something a little more modern, a little more about contemporary culture…read morerather than civilizations in antiquity. That said, if you're an anthropologist, or play one on TV, this would be a cool place for you to visit. The museum is small, but has a decent amount of things on display. There are plaques and signs that explain the items, but they read more like a textbook and don't really capture my attention. It almost has a middle school science fair vibe to it-things on display with a lot of text next to it. Doesn't really tell a story or inspire the reader in a way that leaves an impression. Of all the museums I've been to (and I love museums), this one was pretty "meh." However, it's free, with easy parking onsite. That's something!

Really enjoyed the wonderful synchronization of music with the colorful lights. They definitely put a lot of effort into making this entertaining for guests. This is a no-cost, high quality light show that is very accessible from the I-15. Around 7 there are already a lot of cars parked right outside, so I recommend getting here early to secure a good spot. It doesn't seem people get outside the vehicle, perhaps out of courtesy or because of the cold, but I was able to hold my daughter and let her enjoy the light show relatively close up. Highly recommended if you're looking for something more chill at no cost (although I've heard the thanksgiving point lights are quite good). Thanks again for setting up such a cool light show and awesome e music too
