SALT LAKE CITY — When talking about the best seat locations at Rice-Eccles Stadium, the south end zone rarely, if ever, comes up. That should change in a few years.
In a news conference Wednesday, University of Utah officials announced details on its $80 million expansion project for its football stadium. And the biggest details can be described with one word: premium.
The expansion, which is expected to be completed by the 2021 season, will be done exclusively on the south end zone side of the stadium. The south end corners will be closed off to create a full bowl, with nearly 6,000 seats being added.
