Rice-Eccles Stadium

Rice-Eccles Stadium opened in 1998 and became globally visible during the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2002 Winter Olympics. Set on the University of Utah campus against the Wasatch foothills, it gives stadium concerts one of the strongest mountain backdrops in North America.

TRAX serves Stadium station beside the University of Utah campus, making rail the easiest option from central Salt Lake City. Drivers should use the event parking plan for the university rather than treating campus lots as open concert parking.

Entry screening at Rice-Eccles Stadium follows the rule posted for the event configuration. Review the official venue policy on show day, especially if you need a medical, parenting or accessibility exception.

TRAX serves Stadium station beside the university, which is much easier than navigating campus parking for a major event. Salt Lake evenings can cool sharply after sunset, and visitors from lower elevations may notice the altitude during long walks or standing-room shows.
