Utes are adding a stadium renovation fee to every 2019 season ticket and increasing Crimson Club donation requirements

As the University of Utah’s plan to expand Rice-Eccles Stadium keeps moving through a lengthy approval process, the school is adding a $25 fee to 2019 season tickets to help fund the South end zone project.

In a letter asking for season-ticket renewals Friday, athletic director Mark Harlan announced a 5-percent increase in Crimson Club scholarship donations for season-ticket access to chair seats and premium bleacher seats, with a seven-game home schedule. For the first time, Utah also is requiring donations for the North end zone ($50) and bleacher seats in the corners ($25).

“Hopefully, our fans will understand why we're doing it,” said deputy athletic director Scott Kull.
