About Rice-Eccles Stadium

Rice-Eccles Stadium sits on the University of Utah's hillside campus above Salt Lake City, the venue that opened and closed the 2002 Winter Olympics and, on New Year's Eve 2026, hosts the Utah Mammoth's first-ever outdoor game in the NHL Winter Classic against the Colorado Avalanche. The campus setting offers sweeping views over the valley and the Wasatch mountains beyond.

TRAX light rail connects the university district to downtown Salt Lake City in around fifteen minutes. Staying downtown keeps the city's restaurants and nightlife close, with an easy ride up to the stadium on game day.
