PROVO, Utah— BYU football has a new playing surface at LaVell Edwards Stadium. The authentic grass will be sprayed with a new design.
On Monday, BYU unveiled its new field design for the 2024 season.
BYU football gets an updated midfield logo
BYU will have a royal blue oval and a white stretch Y logo at midfield. Last season, BYU had a white oval and royal blue stretch Y.
BYU posted a mockup of the design on their official X account.

The midfield logo unofficially debuted in EA Sports College Football 25. Later, on Monday, BYU confirmed it would be on the playing surface this fall.
Paying tribute to the 100th season
BYU’s endzones are the same as last season, with a royal blue paint that features B-Y-U spelling in block letters. The only addition to those endzones is BYU’s 100th-season logo.
This fall will be BYU’s 100th season. They began playing on the gridiron in 1922.
BYU’s previous playing surface caused excessive slipping late in the season. In the home games against Iowa State and Oklahoma, BYU players had problems staying upright.
New playing surface
During the Senior Day matchup against Oklahoma, it was a large talking point during the ESPN broadcast for analyst Louis Riddick.
The BYU football team didn’t have access to LES during spring practices. It’s the first time since 2011 that BYU has installed a new playing surface inside LaVell Edwards Stadium.
Along with a new playing surface, LaVell Edwards Stadium will also have new LED lights that change color to enhance the game-day experience.
