Rice–Eccles Stadium, Football stadium at University of Utah, Salt Lake City, United States.

Rice–Eccles Stadium is an outdoor college football stadium on the University of Utah campus in Salt Lake City, home of the Utah Utes. Its bowl of tiered seating surrounds a FieldTurf field running north–south at 4,637 feet (1,413 m) above sea level. A pale slab on the west side carries the stadium name above rows of windows, and the south end zone holds the Ken Garff Red Zone, completed in 2021.

Ute Stadium opened in 1927 with a Utah win over Colorado Mines. Renamed for donor Robert L. Rice in 1972, it was almost entirely demolished after the final home game on November 15, 1997; only the 1982 south end-zone stands survived. The rebuilt steel, concrete and glass stadium opened on September 12, 1998, a 45–22 win over Louisville, and was named for Robert Rice and George Eccles after the Eccles Foundation gave $10 million.

This is where University of Utah Utes fans gather for football games, creating a strong local following that connects the campus to the broader community. The stadium has become a central meeting place for students and residents who share a passion for the team.

The field sits at 4,637 feet (1,413 m) above sea level, about 400 feet above downtown Salt Lake City, so the air is thinner than visitors expect. The Ken Garff Red Zone, completed in August 2021, added home and visiting locker rooms, sports medicine facilities and premium seating at the south end. The Olympic cauldron now stands in a plaza at the southwest corner outside the stadium, west of that expansion.

For the 2002 ceremonies the grass field was paved with asphalt, a stage was built, scoreboards were removed and temporary seats raised capacity above 50,000; the stadium was renamed Rice–Eccles Olympic Stadium for the Games. An estimated 3.5 billion people watched the ceremonies on television.
