LaVell Edwards Stadium at Brigham Young University

Rydalch Electric, Inc. has successfully completed a significant lighting upgrade for Brigham Young University (BYU) in Provo, UT. As part of this upgrade, the Rydalch team completed work on LaVell Edwards Stadium and the baseball and softball fields at Miller Park. This project was essential to bring BYU’s lighting standards up to NCAA requirements, especially as the university joins the Big 12 Conference.

The project involved a comprehensive overhaul of the facilities’ existing lighting systems. A dedicated team, led by Project Manager Dave Gray and Service Foremen Chad Gardner and Ben Howard, worked efficiently to install 225 new lights over a span of two weeks. This overhaul included the replacement of all the existing lights and controllers with a new state-of-the art LED system. This new system allows for each individual light to be controlled from a computer, allowing for much more dynamic lighting scenes and colors.
To support the new equipment, our team installed new structures and cable raceways, as well as replacing much of the facilities’ existing wiring. At Miller Park, several existing light poles and bases were replaced with new ones, which was a unique opportunity for the Rydalch team.

The lighting upgrade project began in February 2024 and is scheduled to be complete by late August. Despite some scheduling challenges, the Rydalch team demonstrated exceptional adaptability and coordination, successfully meeting project milestones, one of which was to have the lights fully operational for BYU’s annual Stadium of Fire event on July 4.

The BYU lighting upgrade project was a great opportunity to showcase Rydalch Electric, Inc.’s commitment to delivering high-quality electrical solutions. Our team thanks BYU for the opportunity to be a part of this prominent project.
