After a convincing road win over UCLA, the Utes are gearing up for their 2025 home opener at Rice-Eccles Stadium this Saturday, where they'll face off against the Cal Poly Mustangs at 4 p.m. A limited number of tickets are still up for grabs for those ready to witness the Utes in action and soak in the newly announced amenities and enhancements, including a Ring of Honor induction ceremony set for halftime. Fans looking to snag a seat at the stadium can head over to the Utes ticket portal to purchase their tickets.
Before settling in for the game, supporters are encouraged to download the Utah 360 app, a digital sherpa of sorts that not only houses your tickets and parking passes but also offers stadium navigation and express concession ordering. Arriving early, specifically by 3:15 p.m., is advised if fans want a front-row seat to the pregame eye-candy provided by the F-35s' flyover from Hill Air Force Base and to honor Utah Football legends Roy Jefferson and coach Ron McBride during the halftime Ring of Honor ceremony. Holding the pride of being the second and third inductees, they'll join the ranks of quarterback Alex Smith, according to UtahUtes.com.
This year, Utes fans can expect a few upgrades to their game day experience. For the tech-savvy crowd, the stadium's Wi-Fi network, introduced last year, should continue making waves. The "RiceEcclesWiFi" network, free and registration-free, is a key lever in optimizing the Utah 360 app's mobile concessions. According to UtahUtes.com, this feature has returned "better than ever," alongside the introduction of two mobile order pickup stands designed to cut down the waiting time and keep fans glued to the game.
