Utah Lights Up Rice-Eccles Stadium with CUE Light Show

A sold-out crowd. A sea of red. Thousands of phones lighting up in sync. Utah gave its fans another reason to bring the energy.

On September 12, 2026, the Utah Utes welcomed the Arkansas Razorbacks to Rice-Eccles Stadium for a nationally televised matchup. With 51,532 fans packing the stands, a stadium-wide Red Out, and an electric night-game atmosphere, Utah was ready to put on a show.

And the fans weren't just there to watch it. They were part of it.

Turning the Crowd into the Show

During the first-quarter break, Utah brought fans into the action with CUE's synchronized smartphone Light Show, transforming individual phones into part of a coordinated stadium-wide experience.

Instead of simply watching the entertainment unfold, fans became part of the production, creating a visual moment that extended throughout the stands.

The activation added another layer to an already impressive game-day presentation, alongside Utah's upgraded stadium lighting and other special entertainment throughout the evening.

More Than Just a Light Show

What made this activation stand out wasn't just the technology. It was how Utah incorporated the experience into the bigger picture.

From the coordinated Red Out to the energy of a sold-out crowd, every element contributed to an atmosphere that felt distinctly Utah.

That's what makes smartphone light shows such a powerful addition to live events. They give teams another way to engage the entire venue, bring fans together, and create moments that look just as impressive on camera as they do from the stands.

And for the Utes, the night ended with even more to celebrate: a commanding 43–10 victory over Arkansas.
