πŸ“–About Greater Zion Stadium

Greater Zion Stadium opened in 1985 as Hansen Stadium and has grown to 10,500 seats with grandstands on both the east and west sides.

Recent renovations in 2019 and 2022 added the east grandstand and premium boxes. The 2022 season marked Utah Tech's transition to full FCS membership.
