The gates to Rice-Eccles Stadium opened on September 12, 1998 and fans have poured through them in record numbers ever since. In fact, for the past two seasons, attendance at Utah home football games has exceeded the 45,017-seating capacity.

The Field Turf playing field runs in the traditional north-south configuration, and sits at an elevation of 4657 feet (1419 m) above sea level, 330 feet (100 m) above downtown Salt Lake City.

With its striking design, stunning mountain backdrop and panoramic views of the Salt Lake valley, Rice-Eccles Stadium is perhaps the most beautiful stadium in the country. It is the third stadium located on the site. Pre-dating Rice-Eccles Stadium were Ute Stadium (1927) and Rice Stadium (1972).
