The Regional Athletic Complex in Salt Lake City has had an incredible season thus far. With 35 events completed and 10 still to go, it's been a busy time for the complex. Perhaps most exciting of all is the number of out-of-state teams that have come to compete - a whopping 22 in total! As a result, the complex has welcomed participants from all over the country and beyond, with 35 states and eight different countries represented.
There have been a number of upgrades and renovations made to the complex in recent months. Among them are the cutting down of pond phragmites at both the North and South Ponds, fence repairs throughout the complex, and sealing of parking lot cracks. There are still more improvements to come, including the development of a playground currently in the engagement phase, and the spraying of phragmites with herbicides in late September.
There have been many exciting events hosted at the complex this year, including the Utah Youth Rugby State semi-finals, the True Lacrosse Mountain West Showcase, and the North American Invitational 7's - the largest youth rugby event in the Americas. Other new events added to the calendar this season include the Lone Peak Invite Ultimate Disc tournament, Ultimate College Regionals, and Turf Wars kickball. Notably, the complex also partnered with Real Salt Lake to host free soccer clinics for kids aged 5-14, with several successful events held over the summer months.
It's clear that all of this activity has paid off financially, as the fiscal revenue at the complex continues to trend up. The heightened activity yielded significant results: revenue increased by over 35% compared to fiscal year 2022 (FY22), and more than doubled relative to Fy21.
There is still plenty more to come this year, so make sure to stay tuned and keep an eye on the Regional Athletic Complex website for all the latest news and updates. With so much to see and do, there's never been a better time to come out and experience the action for yourself!
