Utah athletic facilities ranked No. 5 in the nation by the Princeton Review
Over the past decade, Utah's football program has been one of the top teams in the nation. From winning Pac-12 division titles to sending players to the NFL and the continuity of the coaching staff, it's understandable why the Utes have found so much success.
But there is another reason as to why Utah has been able to sustain that success, a reason that people outside of the program know about.
According to a review based on student ratings, the University of Utah has been ranked No. 5 in the nation for the best college athletic facilities by the Princeton Review.
Apart from the football team reaping the benefits of the facilities, this review was based on all of the athletic facilities, which includes the basketball arena and baseball/softball fields.
It helps that Salt Lake City is one of the prettiest places in the nation, and the backdrop for most of the facilities are the beautiful mountains to the east. Whether blanketed with snow or full of green, the mountains provide a stunning backdrop for any time of the year and make the Utes one of the premier destinations among college athletics.
