Rice-Eccles Stadium Seating Chart & Seat Views – Best Spots for Football & Concerts

Your Guide to the Perfect Seat at Utah’s Premier Stadium

Rice-Eccles Stadium, home to the Utah Utes and major concerts, offers 51,000 seats with stunning Wasatch Mountain views. This guide breaks down the seating chart, highlights the best sections, and helps you choose seats for an unforgettable experience.

Seating Chart Breakdown

• Lower Bowl (Sections 1-29): Closest to the action, ideal for football energy. Rows 1-10 may have limited elevation, while rows 20+ offer better sightlines.
• Upper Bowl (Sections 30-47): Budget-friendly with panoramic views. Higher rows can feel distant but provide unobstructed sightlines.
• South End Zone (Sections EZ1-EZ3): Great for scoring action but limited 50-yard-line visibility.

Best Seats by Event

• Football: Sideline sections (15-25, rows 15-30) balance proximity and elevation.
• Concerts: Sections 10-12 (near the stage) or 35-37 (central sound mix).

Seat View Tips

• Avoid rows 1-5 in lower sections for football (player obstructions).
• Upper bowl center (Sections 40-42) offers the best budget panoramic views.
• Check for overhang obstructions in upper rows under the press box.

Premium Options

• VIP Clubs: Indoor/outdoor seating with catering (Ken Garff Zone).
• Suites: Private lounges for groups (contact stadium for pricing).
• Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible seating in every section.

Pro Tips

For football, aim for shaded west-side seats (Sections 1-14) for afternoon games. Concerts? Prioritize center sections angled toward the stage. Use the stadium’s 3D seat viewer before booking!
