Facility Upgrades A high-tech massive video board rising 137 feet above the plaza behind the south stands of Rice-Eccles Stadium was installed in the summer. The overall LED display size of the board currently ranks among the largest in the country at 122 feet wide by 64 feet tall. The high-definition display has a 16:9 aspect ratio, allowing video to be shown fully without being cropped or stretched. Another feature of the $13.5 million project (funded by the Department of Athletics and Auxiliary Services) is a distributed sound system that uses a series of speakers mounted around the top of the stadium and directs the sound downward, rather than outward, to improve the quality of the sound for those inside the stadium and reduce noise for the surrounding community. The Spence Eccles Football Complex was also upgraded over the summer with the addition of a new arti fi cial turf practice fi eld. The new FieldTurf practice fi eld is adjacent to the current natural grass fi eld behind the Spence and Cleone Football Center and the turf fi eld inside the Spence Eccles Field House.

FanUp!

The University of Utah implemented a FanUp campaign in August of 2016 to encourage good sportsmanship from Ute fans and their athletic teams. The 20-person committee that formulated the sportsmanship initiative was represented by the Board of Trustees, administrators, faculty, staff, students, student-athletes, alumni and fans.

2016 Utah Game Recaps Game 1 Sept. 1 Utah 24, Southern Utah 0 Salt Lake City Rice-Eccles Stadium [45,945]

Game 2 Sept. 10 Utah 20, BYU 19 Salt Lake City Rice-Eccles Stadium [46,915]

SALT LAKE CITY—Utah kicked off its season with a 24-0 win over Southern Utah in a game where the Thunderbirds crossed midfield only twice, gained just 158 total yards and picked up only seven fi rst downs. Marcus Williams created both SUU turnovers, forcing and recovering a fumble on the Utah 33-yard line to end SUU’s fi rst offensive series, and later intercepting a pass. Kylie Fitts had three of Utah’s nine tackles for loss, including 1.5 sacks, and Cody Barton had a team and career-high 11 tackles (1.0 TFL). In his fi rst start as a Ute, junior quarterback Troy Williams passed for 272 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. Tim Patrick had a career-high 105 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

SALT LAKE CITY— With 0:18 remaining and Utah holding a one-point lead, Hunter Dimick stopped BYU quarterback Taysom Hill on a 2-point conversion attempt and the Utes beat the Cougars 20-19. Utah earned its sixth-straight win over BYU despite turning the ball over six times. Sunia Tauteoli picked off the fi rst two interceptions of his career—returning one 41 yards for a touchdown on the fi rst play from scrimmage. After BYU took a 13-7 lead, Troy Williams hit Tim Patrick for a 21-yard touchdown right before the half. Andy Phillips had the fi nal six points of the game on fi eld goals of 47 and 29 yards. Reginald Porter had a team-high seven tackles and his fi rst career interception.
