SALT LAKE CITY — The Jon M. Hunstman Center is perched near the top of University of Utah’s sprawling, Autumn-colored campus in Salt Lake City. The arena resembles something like a spaceship — a wide, gray half-sphere.
The campus itself is perched on a hill overlooking downtown to the west and flanked by the snow-speckled Wasatch Mountain range behind it to the east and southeast, a prime location that affords beautiful views of the afternoon sunset as it disappears beneath the Great Salt Lake out on the horizon.
