SALT LAKE CITY — They hawked 2,200 standing-room-only tickets for Thursday’s football game here. Never before have so many people climbed the steps of Rice-Eccles Stadium to watch an event.
The new attendance record: 53,644.
The final score: Utah 24, Florida 11.
The call on the concession staff’s two-way radios: “We’re gonna need more hotdogs.”
Amid all that, I had mixed feelings.
