It's back: Olympic cauldron returns to Rice-Eccles Stadium


Kristin Murphy, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Construction crews use a crane to reinstall the 2002 Olympic cauldron outside of the University of Utah’s Rice-Eccles Stadium on Friday.
The cauldron was removed in February 2020 to make way for an $80 million expansion of the stadium. The cauldron was transported to an off-site location where all 738 glass panes were removed and the structure was sandblasted and refinished.
On Friday, the cauldron was lowered onto a newly constructed 17-foot-tall pedestal just north of the stadium ticket office.
Earlier this week, construction on the Ken Garff Performance Zone marked a significant milestone when the last beam was hoisted into place. The expansion and renovation project will enclose the south end zone, add premium seating and increase stadium capacity by nearly 5,000.
