SALT LAKE CITY - Ute Soccer Field will have state-of-the-art lighting, as well as a ticketing, concessions and restrooms facility in place by Nov. 1, ready for use during the 2003 Mountain West Conference Tournament.
The new additions, part of an ongoing phased renovation of the University of Utah soccer-softball complex, are being funded by donations of over $550,000 to date from the Katherine W. Dumke and Ezekiel R. Dumke Jr., Foundation.
The University is also constructing a pedestrian mall that will run along the south side of the soccer and softball complex. The pedestrian mall will connect the new University Medical Center TRAX line, due to be completed by Sept. 29, to the U.'s athletics corridor, which includes the Jon M. Huntsman Center, Crimson Court and Ute Natatorium. Tom Stuart Construction, the general contractor for both Phase II of the soccer-softball complex and the pedestrian walkway, has already mobilized onsite. AJC Architects of Salt Lake City is the project architect. Layton Construction Company was the general contractor for Phase I of the project, completed last summer.
Musco, one of the nation's leaders in sports lighting systems, will manufacture and install the lights for Ute Field. Four 80-foot poles, each capped by 20 lamps arranged over three rows, will be placed at the corners of the soccer field.
A 1,000-square-foot ticketing, concessions and restrooms facility will also be included in Phase II of the project. It will be erected just off the new pedestrian mall at the south edge of the soccer field and behind the person permanent seating structure completed in the summer of 2002.
"The Dumke family has always been very generous to the University of Utah and to our soccer program," said Ute soccer head coach Rich Manning. "We are thankful for their gifts. Adding lights to our field will mark another step towards Utah women's soccer having a first-class facility. Most importantly, it will allow more fans to be able to attend our games during the week. We are very excited about this step and grateful to the Dumke's for their generosity."
Long-term plans for the $2.5 million soccer-softball facility call for a complete rebuilding of the softball field and the addition of lights. The softball field will be rotated 180 degrees to face northeast and a new permanent seating structure, including ticketing, concessions and restroom facilities, will be constructed. A press box that will be utilized by both softball and soccer will also be added and the entire facility will be fenced in. Work on future phases of the project will commence in the spring of 2004.
