Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City, UT served as the main stadium for the 2002 Winter Olympics. The stadium is located on the campus of the University of Utah, home of the NCAA Pac-12 division Utah Utes. Upon Salt Lake City being awarded the 2002 Olympic Games in 1995, it became obvious that Rice Stadium was not adequate to be the main stadium. This soon paved the way for a new upgraded facility, Rice-Eccles Stadium, to be built on the same site in time for the games. Just south of the stadium is the Olympic Cauldron Park containing the 2002 games museum, the cauldron and the Hoberman Arch.
