PROVO, Utah – The BYU football home game against North Alabama on November 21st at LaVell Edwards Stadium will have no fans in attendance due to the novel Coronavirus pandemic. B
BYU has played in front of an empty stadium four times this season, but the good news for the Cougars is that LES won’t be empty. Families of the players and coaches are allowed to attend the game as BYU will seek a win against the winless Lions.
