Utes last year when hosting BYU had about 2,000 attendance, against #15 UCLA on a Saturday had 1,367, and hosting #2 OSU on a Saturday at the end of APril had almost 1,400.

I think you're going to see an on-campus stadium built, especially if they have the land available, with a capacity probably around 2,500 or 3,000. I like the idea of a UofU satellite campus in that spot, but I think the stadium is going to be sacrificed for whatever is chosen to come there.

I was just reading an article the other day about costs to build university baseball stadiums. They were $20–65 million. UConn built a 1500 capacity stadium for $40 million. The U should just buy Smith's Stadium from the city.
Also, the U doesn't really have land to build an on-campus stadium.
