BYU Football Has Never Played In These FBS Stadiums Before

PROVO, Utah – Coming up on Saturday, October 23, BYU football will play at Martin Stadium in Pullman, Washington, for the first time in program history. It’s the only venue in the Pac-12 Conference that BYU has not played a game in dating back to its first season in 1922.

So it got me thinking, how many of the current FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision) stadiums have BYU not played in over the years?

With BYU currently set up as an FBS Independent (soon to join the Big 12 Conference in 2023), the Cougars have had the chance to play “Coast-to-Coast Football” and play in various stadiums.
