From the stadium to a ski resort, there’s a Utah football watch party for everyone this weekend

Not going to the Swamp? Here is where Utes (and Gators) fans can watch the opening game of the 2022 season.

The Utah Utes football season is finally here.

Fans in the Beehive State and elsewhere finally get to see what their No. 7 Utes are made of, and it starts Saturday with a humdinger of a matchup against the Florida Gators in Gainesville, Fla.

There will be a large contingent of Utes fans traveling to Florida for the big game. But for those who aren’t and who are looking for a community atmosphere, here are five places in Salt Lake City hosting watch parties.
