LaVell Edwards Stadium seats 62,073. It's a single-tier bowl running north and south, with BYU's bench on the east side (in front of sections 33-35), the visitors' bench on the west side (in front of sections 4-6), the ROC student section filling the south end zone and visiting fans in sections 21 and 121 in the north end zone.

Section locations below are from RateYourSeats.com's LaVell Edwards Stadium guide; policies and accessible seating are from BYU's ticket office pages, read Nov. 9, 2026. BYU reseats the whole stadium every year, so season locations shift; check your ticket.

How the stadium is laid out

Area	Sections	What it is
East sideline	31-37 (lower)	BYU bench in front of 33-35
West sideline	1-9 (lower), 100s above	Visitor bench in front of 4-6
West boxes	Above 4-6 and 104-106	Box seats between the 30-yard lines
South end zone	41-45, 141-146	The ROC, BYU's student section, and the main video board
North end zone	Includes 21 and 121	Visitor fan sections

The lower sections are numbered in the single and double digits and the upper sections in the 100s. In section 21, rows run 1 to 40, with the entrance at row 8.

Seats with backs

Most of the stadium is bleacher seating. If back support matters, these are the sections with chairbacks, per RateYourSeats.com:

Side	Chairback seats
West (visitor) side	Rows 1-8 in sections 1-3 and 7-9; all of sections 4, 5 and 6; sections 103 through 107
East (BYU) side	Sections 33A, 33B and 35A; rows 9 and up in section 34
Box seats	Above sections 4-6 and 104-106, all chairback

Rows 1-8 of sections 31-37 on the east side are benches with back support. Everywhere else, bring a cushion or rent a chair back inside the stadium. You can't bring your own stadium chair, BYU's ticket office says.

The ROC moved for 2026

BYU's student section, the ROC (Roar of Cougars), used to be split between the south end zone and the east sideline bleachers. For 2026, BYU put the whole ROC in the south end zone, where it takes up more than half the seating, and opened the east sideline sections to season ticket holders, Sports Illustrated's BYU site reported. RateYourSeats lists the ROC in sections 41-45 and 141-146.

Picking a seat

For the best view of the game: the sidelines between the 30s, on either side. The west side has the most chairbacks and the boxes; the east side is behind BYU's bench.
For the view of the mountains: the east stands face west toward the valley; the west stands look straight out at the Wasatch Front, with Y Mountain over the south end. Our game-day guide notes the west side spends longer in shade during afternoon games.
For atmosphere: the south end zone near the ROC. It's standing-room energy for four quarters.
On a budget: the end zones. North end-zone seats look toward the video board at the south end, RateYourSeats notes, and the sightlines are weaker than the sidelines.
With small kids: the sidelines, away from the student section, near a stair aisle. Strollers have to be checked under the stands.
As a visiting fan: sections 21 and 121, or buy through your own school's ticket office.

Accessible seating

According to BYU's ticket office, wheelchair seating is on the upper and lower concourses of the West Stands and the lower concourse of the East Stands. Each wheelchair ticket can come with up to three companion tickets, and BYU also sells limited-mobility seats for fans who struggle with stairs. Elevators are near Gates 2 and 4. The disability parking lot is Lot 58, by the IT Building, with a free shuttle.
