University of Utah eyes future stadium expansion

The University of Utah wants to expand Rice-Eccles Stadium to boost capacity by 10,000 seats and create booster areas for Ute football, a school administrator confirmed Tuesday.

The potential expansion is in a “conceptual phase” with no timetable for completion.

The university has conducted some feasibility analysis on a stadium expansion and the cost could range from $40 million to $60 million, Mike Perez, associate vice president for facilities management, said. Deseret News
