Sandy

Rio Tinto Stadium also known as "The RioT" is a soccer-specific stadium, in Sandy, Utah, that is the home to Major League Soccer club Real Salt Lake.... The stadium opened on October 9, 2008, in a game between Real Salt Lake and Red Bull New York. The stadium seats 20,213 for soccer, but can be expanded to over 25,000 for concerts. The stadium hosted the 2009 MLS All-Star Game between the MLS All-Stars and Premier League club Everton F.C. on 29 July 2009. It also hosted one leg of the 2011 CONCACAF Champions League Finals between Real Salt Lake and Primera Division club Monterrey. In 2005 a soccer-specific stadium for Real Salt Lake was approved for Sandy, a suburb of Salt Lake City. However, funding for the stadium was hard to come by. A vote in early 2006 struck down a funding proposal for the stadium. The proposal was declared "dead" by owner Dave Checketts at that point, putting the team's future in doubt.
