47岁的10000个座位的天na is the permanent new home for rodeo at the Utah State Fair Park. The arena also hosts other events such as concerts and motor sports. Amenities include snack-bar buildings, restrooms, storage, janitor and rodeo support services, a hospitality room and a meeting room. Sitework rerouted utilities and added concrete walkways and a pedestrian plaza around the facility.

Early precontract coordination between Okland, supplier GT Grandstand and Cache Valley Electric allowed construction to start immediately upon project award, keeping the nine-month project on schedule. Spectator experience was the number one goal. The arena’s clear and balanced sound, stunning light displays and flexible uses make it a state-of the-art facility.
