";s:4:"text";s:4234:"The official Football page for the University of Utah … The University of Utah announced plans to expand Rice-Eccles Stadium after its Board of Trustees approved a request to pursue bonding. The dilapidated locker and meeting rooms below the current south end zone stands will be replaced with new locker rooms for the home and visiting teams, rooms for coaches and officials and rooms for athletic training, equipment, press operations and the Utah Marching Band. In recent years, the university has made changes to the stadium’s sound and lighting systems to reduce impact on the surrounding neighborhoods. Rice-Eccles Stadium, home of Ute football as well as numerous other campus and community events each year, is set to undergo an $80 million expansion and renovation. The U’s football team has played in front of 56 straight sellout crowds in Rice-Eccles Stadium, dating back to its 2010 season opener. Posted - Nov. 14, 2018 at 2:54 p.m. CMS conducted surveys of donors, season-ticket holders, alumni, etc. Those additional seats will raise the stadium's capacity from 45,807 to 51,444, making Rice-Eccles the Pac-12’s ninth biggest stadium.But this expansion plan isn't about getting as many people in the stadium as possible; it's about providing an area that has been missing from Rice-Eccles — an area that Utah expects will end up paying for much of the expansion price tag.The added seats will be predominantly made up of premier luxury seats — suites, outdoor level seating, rooftop seating and club areas — giving the U. a chance to sell premium tickets to individuals and groups, according to Utah athletic director Mark Harlan.Harlan said $35 million of the $80 million cost will come from donations, with the rest mostly coming from the profits made from the new premium seat areas.“Our research has shown a very high demand for these premium spaces,” Harlan said.That's why Utah is choosing to put nearly 5,000 of those types of seats into the expansion. There will also be 1,000 bleacher seats added.But the new luxury area isn't the only new thing coming to the south end zone.The expansions will also include new home and visiting locker rooms, as well as social gathering areas for fans, Harlan said. In addition, the university continues to encourage patrons to use public transit when attending events at the stadium and has arranged for athletic tickets to serve as UTA fare on game days. In evaluating several options for Rice-Eccles Stadium, the expansion and enhancement of the south end of the stadium became the best option for Utah Athletics and will be a game-changer for Utah football, as well as for all of our athletics teams that will benefit from the anticipated new revenue. The board approved the project at its meeting on Nov. 13.The estimated $80 million expansion will involve demolishing and rebuilding the south end zone, which was built in 1982 and was the only piece of old Rice Stadium retained when the current stadium opened on the same grounds in 1998. And many of those areas will have views to the field.“It’s huge for our program," Utah football coach Kyle Whittingham said. The project is being funded in part by a lead gift of $17.5 million from the Ken Garff family, which is the largest donation in the history of Utah … The official Football page for the University of Utah Utes. The University of Utah is moving forward with plans for a Rice-Eccles Stadium expansion, as its Board of Trustees has authorized a request to pursue bonding.The expansion, estimated at $80 million and conditional on financing approval, is slated for a 2021 completion. Utah is pitching high-end seats in the south end zone as the prime feature of the stadium expansion plan. and determined that the interest was there to increase the size of the stadium.Using the information provided by CMS, Harlan said that the “sweet spot” number between 51,000 and 54,000 became clear.“This wasn't just Dr. Hill and I, during the transition phase, sitting around on a grease board,” Harlan said. So Utah wanted to be sure that it could still sell out if it were to expand. ";s:7:"keyword";s:31:"utah football stadium expansion";s:5:"links";s:4675:"
