Busy Day at Ute Field

After a day of rest on Sunday and a busy Monday, filled with two practices...Tuesday provided a change of pace as well as a lot of activity for the Utes. . .

Meeting at 2:00 P.M., consisting of a chalk talk on defense and set pieces...followed by practice at 3:30 P.M. Then the real action started...

Sports Information Director, Kyle Harris, came out with a photographer to get some action shots of the new players. Kyle has been busy finishing up the media guide. Kyle and the photographer then took some action photos of Katie Brower and Addie Hair, who acted as body part models...Katie and Addie took shots at goal for the photographer...the marketing department will use the feet and ball for some advertising this season...






Then the Utes took to getting our beautiful stadium (known as "Ute Field") ready for the season. The players and coaches helped put up our wind screen and get the bleachers cleaned up for the home opener on August 29 vs. the University of Arizona.

Here grounds keeper, Ron Snarr (in the red shirt and hat), instructs Christine Quinn and others on how to attach the screen.







Grounds keeper, Gavin Gough, directs the finishing touches on the lower portion of the fencing. Lauren Hair (in the white shirt) hands out the plastic ties to get things secured.












Danielle Sample, Katy Reineke and Morgan Skeen do an impression of the old "Kilroy was here" cartoon from atop the stands as they apply the last piece of stadium dressing.











After the project was complete, Ron Snarr and Gavin Gough cooked up some burgers and goodies for the team. Assistant Athletic Director Zack Lassiter came by with his 2-year-old son, Luke, to enjoy the facilities.

Here Luke works on his finishing skills...
Maybe a future Real Salt Lake star?
