It appears The Nielsen Fieldhouse will have "UTAH" painted on the roof in time for the 2015 season opener.
As Utah fans clamor for expansion of Rice -Eccles Stadium with no definite plans in sight, one Ute fan has taken enhancing the atmosphere at Utah home football games into his own hands. Mark Sargent created a Gofundme page on August 3rd with the stated goal of raising 15.3 thousand dollars to paint "UTAH" on the Roof of the Einar Nielsen Fieldhouse which overlooks the north end zone.
This wasn't just a spur of the moment idea either.
