Welcome to SLC! You’ll have a great time. Here’s some tips for the stadium:
1- Arrive 1.5hrs ahead of kickoff and feel free to bring some drinks with you to our tailgate lots to the southeast of the stadium (on Guardsman Way). Be sure to drink all that you can, because no alcohol is sold inside of the stadium. Security lines can be long, so I would account for at least 20-30 minutes.
2- If you’re renting a car and planning to drive it to the game, be prepared to park a mile or so from the stadium in a neighborhood. A pro tip that I’ve been doing for years is, I park at a nearby Redline Trax station. A great station is Courthouse(450 S Main St.) or Library Trax Station.
3- Bathroom Situation at Rice Eccles: If you choose to use the bathrooms, avoid going at halftime, the bathrooms in the west and east concourses can get extremely long (10-15 minute waits). Best bathrooms in my opinion are located on the south of the stadium.
