Should Utah Expand Rice-Eccles Stadium?

We take a look at an article written by our friends at the Salt Lake Tribune about some of the implications of a stadium expansion

Our friend Matthew Piper at the Salt Lake Tribune wrote an excellent article on possible uprgrades to Rice-Eccles Stadium and some of the implications of stadium expansion. Rice-Eccles Stadium's maximum capacity of 45,807 is the third smallest Pac-12 Stadium, ahead of only Reser Stadium (45,674) and Martin Stadium (32,952). The demand is certainly there among fans for more seats, as evidenced by the two largest crowds in Rice-Eccles Stadium history happened during the USC (47,619) and Oregon (47,528) games last season.
