Eccles Coliseum, University stadium in Cedar City, US
Eccles Coliseum is a university stadium in Cedar City with roughly 8,500 seats arranged in different sections. The venue has premium boxes, regular seating areas, and a large video scoreboard for viewing game information.
The stadium opened in 1967 as the home field for Southern Utah University Thunderbirds football. Since then it has hosted university athletics and has become a regular venue for regional sporting events.
The stadium hosts the Utah Summer Games opening ceremonies and Special Olympics competitions that draw crowds throughout the year. These events make it a gathering place where the community comes together to watch local sports.
The stadium sits near Interstate 15 in Cedar City and is easy to find from the main road. Arriving early for major events helps you secure parking more easily.
The stadium sits high up at about 5,600 feet elevation with red mountains visible from the stands and the historic university campus in view. This mountain setting gives the venue a distinctive backdrop not common in sports stadiums.
