In the excitement of a concert, we often forget the venue. While I have no beef with the performers…read more(The 1975, who were exceptional), I can't totally say the same about the UCCU Center. Known for many moons as the David O. McKay Events Center, there have been changes in recent years to make room the growth of Utah Valley State College to Utah Valley University. The sound was good, and the importance of good sound can't be underemphasized. And, while I'm guessing that The 1975 brought most of their own show, there is something to be said about a medium-sized college arena handling well the unadulterated wattage surge of a 1000-foot video display and multi-colored lighting brought forth by this massively huge British band. I have been on campus over the years for other events such as Wolverine basketball games and the famed Michael Moore speech in 2004. For those type of events, it works decently and as it should. However bands, unless they are performing in "The Round", will find their fans making awkward angles in their chairs. While I was standing most of the time, sitting and seeing required turning myself 90 degrees left in an unswivelable and uncomfortable circa-1980s arena chair. The parking is maybe the worst I've seen at a concert. No UVU staff managing the traffic; we spent 30 minutes trying to get out, but not moving. This element I give an "F" ... hell, I'll give it a "Z-". Utterly and completely unacceptable. If you want to play with the big boys, UVU, start acting like it. In the end, the concert was great, and I'm sure there will also be great events like this in the future.

We went to the Louis Tomlinson concert on March 1st. The line to get in was really long and it…read moremoved really slow. I didn't like how there were no assigned seats. It was really hot inside. Once we sat down we were dying of water. My sister saved our seats while I went to get water. I asked an employee where the concession stands were and they only had one that was open which was clear on the other side of the building. Once I got the concession stand the was so dang long since that was the only concession stand open. They had a few vending machines around with water bottles in them that I wanted to use because I didn't want to wait in the long concession line. All the vending machines were turned off. So I had no choice but to stand in line. I waited probably about 45 minutes to 1 hour. I missed the whole opening act. They had 1 freaking person so the register!! I could t get over it. They weren't selling any water bottles, they said they are only doing cups of water. They had bottle waters in the fridge but weren't selling any. They said people throw them up on stage which I don't get because anyone could throw a big cup of water on stage too. The big cups of water were more expensive than the bottle waters too. Of course. They were $4 for each cup of water. They didn't even out ice in the water. It was the worst. Why would t you have more than one concessions open?? Why wouldn't they have their vending machines on?? Why wouldn't you have more than 1 person doing the register?? It was the worst!!

And, this was my first visit to Provo, Utah and to LaVell Edwards Stadium. It was an 8:30pm kickoff and this was also a "White Out" game where every BYU fan in attendance was instructed to wear white. I had the time of my life!!! Granted, I am too old to be a student, but just being a college football fan in general, LaVell Edwards Stadium had it all. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!!! There were so many memorable moments, I'm still feeling on Cloud 9 from it all! Where to start?????? - The setting!! From the home side of the stands, you have a gorgeous mountain range view hanging in the distance. It's one of the best backdrops in college football!! Maybe THE BEST!! The scenery was stunning! But in a way, no surprise. Utah's landscape never ceases to amaze. For the 8:30pm kickofff, they allowed fans inside the stadium 2 full hours ahead of time. This gave me ample opportunities to walk around and explore. I bought my ticket on TickPick (as usual). It was $53 which I think was cheap. Both BYU and Kansas State (who has a solid football reputation) were 3 - 0 heading into this game. And for a primetime showing on ESPN, $53 was well worth the price of admission, lol. Before entering, they had the "Cougar Walk" where fans greeted the players as they entered the stadium. That was exciting. I made sure to take a photo with the Cougar Statue right outside. Btw, I parked along the side street at the BYU Botany Pond, about a one mile walk from LaVell Edwards Stadium. This way I didn't have to pay for parking. LaVell Edwards Stadium has a seating capacity of 64,000 and for this game...it was a sellout. That brings me to my next point... - Crowd energy and noise! I was mighty impressed with BYU's fans and students bringing the noise and showing their passion for the Cougars. Every third down on defense had fans standing and rooting for BYU to make a stop. I also appreciated the BYU Fight Song which was playful and all the fans knew the chant. Opening introductions were fantastic with fireworks lighting off and getting things started. And...at the end of the game when BYU won convincingly, there was a terrific 5 minute fireworks display that finished the celebrations on the perfect note. I also need to mention how when ending the 3rd quarter and entering the 4th quarter, the Cougar mascot got the stadium rocking with a pounding of the drums while fans responded and clapped along. It reminded of the "Skol Chant" at US Bank Stadium for the Minnesota Vikings. Another thing to mention was my seat...I sat in Section NN and Row 36 which was the last row of the visiting side of the stands. Yet...the views of the game from this Row 36 were awesome! I could see all the action perfectly. And just glancing around at the rest of the bowl that comprised LaVell Edwards Stadium, it appeared like wherever you sat, you were able to follow every play from any vantage point. Whoever designed this place did an outstanding job, lol! In the end, for attending a BYU football game here at LaVell Edwards Stadium, it had to be one of the most electric and exciting atmospheres I have ever been to for a sporting event. I loved every moment. And this is why I live for college football! Thank you Brigham Young University for having me.

Two reasons, there is big money here since it is part of the Million Dollar Tour and because of the facilities. Preforming in front of sold out crowds, every rodeo, can not suck either. The highlight of Fiesta Days is the 4 nights of professional rodeo, with great riders, good entertainment and great announcers / clowns. During Fiesta Days they also host the Flag Burning Ceremony for flags that need to be retired. If you have never attended, you are missing a very patriotic event. You can buy tickets online for the events well in advance and get better seats than if you wait. It is also the host of the Utah County Fair for many years now, and seems to grow every year. The monster truck shows and the demolition derby sell out almost as quick as the tickets go on sell. These are "do not miss" events, always a ton of fun. They have smaller arenas and have youth rodeo competitions there almost weekly, as well as farm auctions for animals and equipment. Stalls can be rented for real reasonable prices. Spanish Fork is a big supporter of rodeo, 4H and other such things. I always get tickets for at least a night or two of Fiesta Days Rodeo, monster truck, demotion derby, the bull fights and the May rodeo. Many of the junior events in the smaller arenas are free to the public.

I've been coming to America First Field (formerly Rio Tinto Stadium, affectionately known as "The…read moreRioT") for Real Salt Lake MLS games for over six years now, and it's always a fun experience. The stadium has a great soccer vibe, and the unpadded plastic seats are comfortable enough to enjoy the game for a few hours. There are plenty of snack and drink options, though be prepared for the typical stadium prices that are on the high side. If you're flexible, waiting for last-minute seats can sometimes score you a bargain, which is always nice. The stadium does have some accessibility challenges for ADA and wheelchair users. There's only one place to store mobility scooters, so if your seats are on the opposite side of the stadium, it can be quite a trek. It definitely helps to have someone with you. I had to ride and drop my mom's scooter when the two of us went to a Real Salt Lake game last summer, which was a bit cumbersome but still manageable with planning. The stadium is well laid out and there isn't a truly terribly seat in the whole venue. It's designed perfectly so it's easy in and easy out, and I have zero complaints about the game day experience over the years. The team store is terrific as well, with tons of great merchandise if you need to get outfitted as a fan. While the name is now pretty generic and boring, America First Field is a solid spot for MLS soccer. It captures that local soccer energy perfectly, and I always have a great time cheering on Real Salt Lake despite the minor accessibility hurdles and pricey concessions.
