45 College Stadiums That Are More Iconic Than the Teams That Play There

43. LaVell Edwards Stadium: Brigham Young University (Provo, UT)

BYU has had some strong football years, but even in quiet seasons, LaVell Edwards Stadium stuns. Set against the Wasatch Mountains, with jagged snowcaps rising just beyond the bleachers, it delivers nature-as-backdrop in a way few venues can rival. Opened in 1964, the stadium has hosted national-title contenders, yet what people remember most isn’t just the football—it’s the altitude, the acoustics, the atmosphere. And the view. Always the view. The stadium becomes a cathedral to both faith and football, elevating even mediocre matchups into spiritual events.
