About LaVell Edwards Stadium
Brigham Young University's football team, the BYU Cougars, plays at LaVell Edwards Stadium, an open-air stadium on the BYU campus in Provo, Utah. It was called Cougar Stadium when it opened in 1964, and in 2000 it was renamed as a tribute to LaVell Edwards, the Hall of Fame coach who won a national championship at BYU. Edwards (1930–2016) led the team for 29 seasons as head coach, after ten as an assistant, and the renaming took place right before his final home game in charge.
Built at the campus's north end, the stadium replaced a far smaller venue of 5,000 seats that shared its name. The inaugural game, played on the night of Friday, October 2, 1964, drew 33,610 people, a state record. The original stadium equaled the lower half of the grandstand seating, holding just over 28,800. In 1982 it grew to hold over 65,000: permanent concrete end-zone stands took the place of temporary bleachers, the running track was removed, and the field was dropped by 8 feet (2.4 m).
The luxury seating added in 2003 uses blue and white seats that spell out BYU in block letters. Outdoor meets of BYU's track and field teams took place at the stadium until 1982, and it was the site of NCAA championship meets in both 1967 and 1975. A portion of the biggest Jurassic fossil collection in North America, kept at BYU, lay under the east bleachers until 2005. In the 2002 Winter Olympics, the parking lot doubled as a park-and-ride facility for spectators heading to Soldier Hollow and the Peaks Ice Arena.
How it prints
Make this print opens the generator on a 600 m square around the landmark. Buildings print at close to true scale, so the landmark grows with the print size.

|---|---|---|
| 160 mm default | 14 mm | 1:3,750 |
| 200 mm | 17 mm | 1:3,000 |
| 256 mm | 22 mm | 1:2,344 |

- Many fine seating rows
- The sideline grandstands are built from many fine tiers. A larger print and a layer height of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep the rows easier to read.
- Lamp frames and cross-bracing
- Small lamp frames sit on the roofs, and the west stand rests on cross-braced supports. Print friendly adapts thin parts like these to your print scale; Full detail keeps them, best on a larger print.
- One piece with the ground
- LaVell Edwards Stadium is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
- In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors
- Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. LaVell Edwards Stadium takes the building color.
- File format
- You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
