Doors openFor Real Salt Lake matches, Beddy's Plaza gates (East and North) open 2 hours prior to kickoff. The Spanish Stairs, West, and South Gates open 90 minutes prior to kickoff. Gate times may vary for other events.
Rideshare zoneA designated drop-off and pick-up zone for rideshare services is located in the East Parking Lot of America First Field.
Re-entryIn accordance with America First Field security procedures, guests are not permitted to exit and re-enter the stadium using the same ticket, and there are no exceptions to this policy.
TransitThe UTA TRAX light rail system has a stop at Sandy Expo Station, which is a short walk from America First Field. Public street parking is permitted in designated areas around the stadium, but adjacent neighborhoods are typically permit-only on event days. Shuttle buses are available from Sandy City Hall and the Mountain America Expo Center.

Parking

Pre-purchasing parking is highly recommended for major events. ADA accessible parking spaces are available in the West, South, and East parking lots on a first-come, first-served basis, requiring an ADA placard or license plate and a parking pass. Electric vehicle parking is available in the West Lot. Some parking may be available for sale on gamedays at the 90th Parking Lot and Jordan Commons, both of which are card-only.

Family & accessibility

  • Strollers: Large strollers are required to be checked in at the Guest Services Office on the East Concourse. Small strollers that fold up can be placed under your seat and must not impede any walkways or aisles.
  • Family perks: America First Field provides family restrooms (located on the southeast concourse near section 5), baby-changing stations in all men's and women's restrooms, and a Mother's Room in the Guest Services Office on the East Concourse. Additionally, Parent & Sensory Rooms are located at the Guest Services office on the 3rd floor of the east concourse, offering sensory item bags for checkout.

Culture layer

  • Signature food: Signature food options include J. Dawgs (quarter-pound all-beef hot dogs and Polish sausages), City Grill's "Burger of the Match" (which adapts based on the opponent's local cuisine), Sandy Co's hot sandwiches and loaded Mac n' Cheese, Fresh Kicks offering vegan and vegetarian options like the vegan crunch wrap and Cauliflower Tikka bowl, Cup Bop (Korean BBQ), Santorini (Mediterranean dishes), and Chile Verde (Mexican food like burritos, tacos, and nachos).
