The Rice-Eccles Stadium is located in the Salt Lake City, in the campus of the University of Utah in the United States. The playing field is 4,637 feet above sea level. It was opened on 12th September 1998 after a year of construction. The structure of the stadium was designed by the architecture firm FKKR Architects and engineered by Reaveley Engineers + Associates. A college football team Utah Utes that plays in the Pac-12 Conference, is the tenant of the stadium since its opening. It has also acted as the main venue for the 2002 Winter Olympics. That time, the stadium was temporarily renamed as "Rice-Eccles Olympic Stadium" for commercial purposes.
There is a 2002 Winter Olympic Museum, Olympic cauldron, and other memorabilia located just south of the stadium. The famous Hoberman Arch was also located here until it was removed in October 2014.
In 1998, the surface of the stadium had been installed with SportGrass which is a hybrid version of artificial turf and natural grass. That time, it was the first stadium that has used this type of hybrid grass.
