Grass for the Gridiron
28- year-old turf was removed from BYU’s LaVell Edwards Stadium over the summer.
11- inch gain in elevation from the sidelines to midfield on the old field; the crown raises only 3.5–4 inches on the new field.
12.75 inches of sod, sand, and gravel layered beneath the grass.
5 bluegrasses constitute the new grass, a blend designed to hold the field together.
9,000 feet of tubing installed under the gravel layer directs drainage.
78 percent efficient water system installed in the new field; the average home’s water system is 35 percent efficient.
128–38: BYU’s home record since the field’s last renovation.
