Rice Eccles Stadium Parking

451 South 1400 East, Salt Lake City, Utah 84112

NOTICE: Traffic in Salt Lake City by the Rice Eccles Stadium can get busier at times of the major events. We typically recommend allowing extra time to arrive, park and walk to the venues entrance.

On-Site Parking Options Rice-Eccles Stadium offers several designated on-site and adjacent campus lots for events, primarily managed by the University of Utah. These include lots such as Merrill Engineering (Lot 39), Kennecott (Lot 44), Sorenson (Lot 32), USTAR (Lot 46), and Eccles Broadcast (Lot 27). Tailgating is permitted in select areas like Lots 8 and 9. Fees for standard events typically range from $10–$25 per vehicle, with closer premium lots often priced at $20; RV/trailer parking commands higher rates (historically $40–$80). Pre-purchase passes via Ticketmaster or the stadium’s site is strongly encouraged, as lots fill quickly and cash/gate options may be limited or unavailable. Nearby Parking Lots Additional university lots and private options surround the campus, including the Central Garage and various surface lots further out (e.g., near the Marriott Library or student services). Daily visitor rates on campus run approximately $2 per half-hour (capped at $40), though event-day surcharges apply in many areas. Third-party platforms like Prked allow booking nearby driveways or private spots in advance for convenience and potentially lower costs. Some fans report success with lots southeast of the stadium. Street Parking Options Limited street parking exists in surrounding residential neighborhoods, often free but subject to time restrictions, permit requirements, or event-day enforcement. Availability varies by event size; arrive early to secure spots a few blocks away. Always check posted signs to avoid tickets or towing. Public transit integration helps mitigate street parking challenges. General Parking Tips Event parking is limited and traffic-heavy – pre-purchase when possible and arrive 2+ hours early. The TRAX Red Line Stadium station drops off directly at the venue, and event tickets often serve as free UTA fare. Rideshares have designated drop-off/pick-up zones. Consider carpooling, scooters (SPIN available near Gate F), or park-and-ride lots. Download the campus map for real-time guidance, and note that policies (including fees) can vary by event – check the official stadium site or Ticketmaster for your specific date. Handicap spots are available across major lots.
