Zions Bank Stadium, association football stadium in Herriman, Utah, United States
Zions Bank Stadium is a 5,000-seat soccer stadium in Herriman, Utah, part of the 42-acre Zions Bank Real Academy. Its pitch measures 120 by 75 yards, the same dimensions as Rio Tinto Stadium. A grandstand with dark seats and a red roof sits on the east side, which also holds a press box, an owners suite, and hospitality spaces. A sign behind one end reads "ZIONS BANK STADIUM" and "HOME OF THE REAL MONARCHS".
Real Salt Lake chose Herriman for its stadium and academy in early 2016, after plans for an 8,000-seat venue at the Utah State Fairpark collapsed. Construction began in August 2016, and the stadium opened in April 2018 after delays. The first event was a Utah Warriors rugby match on April 20, 2018, before 3,143 spectators; Real Monarchs played their first home match on April 30, a scoreless draw with Las Vegas Lights FC.
The stadium's name comes from Zions Bank, which bought the naming rights in May 2017. Besides Real Monarchs, it hosts the Utah Warriors rugby team, the Utah Archers of the Premier Lacrosse League and the Salt Lake Shred ultimate frisbee team. Its first sporting event was a Warriors match on April 20, 2018, before 3,143 spectators.
The stadium sits close to Interstate 15 and is most easily reached by car, with a parking lot on site. After games, police officers help direct traffic so that the exit flows smoothly.
The stadium's entrance was moved to the northwest corner at a cost of $250,000 so it could get a liquor license, since state law bars licenses within 200 feet of a school and the academy's charter school stands 100 feet away. The roof carries 9,800 square feet of solar panels producing 166 kW.
