DALLAS, TX, July 16, 2021 – University of Utah fans, faculty and the Salt Lake City community will soon have another way to cheer on the Utes: Invited — the World Leader in Private Clubs — and the University of Utah have teamed up to introduce U Club. The club will be a year-round private club at Rice-Eccles Stadium opening in the fall of 2021. U Club will offer premium dining, event and meeting spaces, engaging programming and game-day celebrations designed to bring fans, faculty, alumni and the business community together.

Offering stunning stadium and mountain views as well as expansive outdoor patios, the Club will be located in the Ken Garff Red Zone in the south end zone. The premier stadium location, combined with Invited’s expertise in delivering extraordinary experiences and exceptional hospitality, will make it the ideal place for celebrating football season. In addition to Game Day watch parties, the Club will host Game Week fun and festivities such as pre-game rallies and post-game dinners and celebrations. Throughout the year, the Club will serve as a hub for the University and the community, with comfortable lounges, inventive dining and programming designed to entertain, inform and bring people together.          

The U Club will be managed by Invited’s dynamic, rapidly growing stadium division and is the eighth stadium property in the division. Invited helps universities harness the incredible demand for connection and community, creating venues for members and guests to come together to celebrate the excitement of not only Game Day but every day.

“We are excited to work with the University of Utah to build a diverse membership that will create an energetic and dynamic Club – just as we have with our other Stadium Club properties,” said Invited CEO David Pillsbury. “Stadium Clubs are unlike any other social or business memberships in the world: They combine the traditions and affinity for college sports with state-of-the-art technology services, high-end culinary options and curated experiences, all in a welcoming environment that fosters social, business and family connections.”
