2 hours before kickoff
Two hours before every home game, the BYU Cougars walk from the practice facility through campus to LaVell Edwards Stadium. Fans — including hundreds of families and children — line the route to cheer on the team. Players high-five kids, sign autographs, and soak in the community love. It's one of the most wholesome traditions in college football.
All home games
The Royal Blue Crew is BYU's student section — one of the most energetic in college football despite the dry campus. Students pack the north end zone in royal blue, creating a wall of noise that opposing teams dread. The Crew has been known to turn the tide of games with sheer volume.
All home games
Cosmo the Cougar is BYU's beloved mascot and one of the most athletic in college sports. Known for his acrobatic backflips and crowd-pumping antics, Cosmo has won multiple national mascot championships. He's a fan favorite for kids and adults alike, and his energy is contagious.
All home games
LaVell Edwards Stadium sits against the stunning Wasatch Mountains, creating one of the most scenic settings in all of college football. Fans arrive early just to take in the view — especially at sunset before night games. The mountains turn golden as the stadium lights come on, creating a breathtaking atmosphere.
Every season
BYU never plays on Sundays due to religious observance — a covenant that has held since the university's founding. The Big 12 respects this in scheduling, and it's a source of immense pride for the BYU community. It's a reminder that BYU is unlike any other program in college football.
