Utah Athletics To Host Open House For Ken Garff Performance Zone

After nearly two years of construction, the unveiling of the Ken Garff Performance Zone is upon Utah football fans as the athletic department will be hosting a public open house on August 21 from 6-8 p.m. MST

It's been nearly two years in the making — and even longer that it's been discussed. 

But the wait is finally over as the Utah athletic department as announced a date and time for the unveiling of the Ken Garff Performance Zone seated at the south end of Rice-Eccles Stadium.

The athletic department will be hosting a public open house on August 21 from 6-8 p.m. MST for those who wish to get a tour of the new facility. 

Also included in the two-hour show will be a special program where the Utah football staff will be discussing the upcoming season. Although coaches and players will be speaking with those in attendance, it will be done virtually as no direct contact will be had due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Circle your calendars for Saturday, Aug. 21!

Our Welcome Back Open House is free and open to the public, to tour the new Ken Garff Red Zone at Rice-Eccles Stadium and hear from each Utah head coach!
