Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre (Formerly USANA): All You Need to Know

All About Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre (Formerly USANA Amphitheater)

For many touring acts visiting Utah, the answer is Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre, the venue Salt Lake fans spent years calling USANA Amphitheater. The West Valley City location has hosted rock, country, pop and electronic bills across its runs, and the name you'll see on newer listings reflects the naming-rights switch to Utah First Credit Union, announced in January 2024.

On-site concessions include food and beverage options, and guests can check the venue's current offerings before attending. Want to mark a night out with a group? Private hospitality spaces are available for group events, business gatherings, and celebrations.

Both names refer to the same venue, so a ticket to "USANA Amphitheater" and a ticket to "Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre" get you to the same venue location.

Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre Capacity

According to Hoffman Construction Company, which lists the venue among its projects, the amphitheater has a capacity of 25,000 guests. The fixed front section holds 7,000 seats, and the lawn area behind it takes up to 18,000 more. Some layouts shrink for private events, but the reserved-plus-lawn split is what shapes your night here.

USANA Amphitheater Rules

To keep the venue safe, Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre runs a strict entry policy. Weapons, outside food and illegal substances are not allowed. Smoking is limited to designated areas. Disruptive conduct and unauthorized ticket resale are grounds for removal.

Check the full list of prohibited items under "What items are NOT ALLOWED to be brought into the venue?" on the official site before you pack.

What Can You Bring to the USANA Amphitheater?

Nonprofessional cameras, personal fans and blankets are allowed. On the drink question fans ask most: you can bring an empty reusable clear bottle to fill inside, while frozen bottles and metal or glass containers are not permitted. Lawn chairs and stadium seats brought from home are also turned away at the gate, so plan around the venue's rental option instead. See "What items ARE allowed into the venue?" for the current full list.

USANA Amphitheater Bag Policy

Bags guests may bring:

• Clear plastic bag (max 12" x 12" x 6")

• Small clutch bags, fanny packs or wristlets that do not need to be clear (max 6" x 9")

All bags are subject to search at entry. Oversized bags over those measurements are not allowed. Check the venue's bag policy page for updates before the show, since policies can shift season to season.

Does the USANA Amphitheater Have Smoking Areas?

There are no smoking areas inside the seating bowl. Guests can smoke or vape in the plaza areas, per the venue's Know Before You Go info. Guests who do not follow smoking rules may be asked to relocate or comply with venue policies.

Cashless Payments

Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre is a cash-free venue. Bring a credit or debit card, or use mobile payment such as Apple Pay or Google Pay, for food, drinks and merchandise. If you only have cash, use a cash-to-card booth to load a prepaid card at no extra charge. Those booths sit near the main gates and plaza, so look for them on your way in.

Mobile Ticketing

Entry is mobile-based, which helps reduce the risk of lost, stolen, or counterfeit tickets. Download your mobile tickets through the ticketing app listed on your order before arriving, and make sure your phone has enough battery and storage to access them at the gate.

Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre Seating

Seating splits into two worlds: a reserved section arranged close to the stage and a large open lawn behind it. Which one you pick changes the whole night, so it helps to know how each zone works before you buy.

USANA Amphitheater Seating Chart

Seats in the reserved zone are arranged in a semicircle and split into sections, with the lawn behind them. Reserved tickets list a specific row and seat, while lawn tickets may appear as "LAWN" followed by a number. For some shows, a general admission pit replaces part of the reserved seating. Check the venue seating chart for the exact layout of your event, since it varies by production.

USANA Amphitheater Chair Policy

Lawn seating is generally first come, first served for most events, although some shows may use different configurations. A few shows sell reserved lawn seating, but for the rest, arrive early to claim a spot closer to the stage. You cannot bring your own chair. The venue rents lawn chairs, which you can reserve ahead by adding the Lawn Chair Rental option to your order or buying a lawn ticket bundle that includes one.

USANA Amphitheater VIP & Private Suites

For a VIP night, Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre offers private suites and premium hospitality areas positioned toward the center of the stage, with sightlines built for the whole show. Suites are available in different group sizes and can be booked for the full season. Suite purchases are final and non-transferable.

Configurations change between events, so confirm the layout on the ticketing site where you bought your seats.

Fees can significantly affect the final ticket price. With no hidden fees at TicketX, first-time buyers can also compare seats and add a promo code for an extra discount at checkout.

USANA Amphitheater Parking

Traveling by car? General parking (5150 S Upper Ridge Road) comes with your ticket. Lots open at noon on show days, so you can arrive early and settle in without a rush. Beyond general parking, the venue sells upgraded parking for guests who want a faster exit or a spot closer to the gates.

Upgraded Parking Options

Upgraded parking is priced per event and sold as an add-on, so what's offered depends on the show. Options generally trade on two benefits: a faster, prioritized exit after the encore, or a spot closest to the main gates. Prices move with the performer and demand, so check the official parking add-on page for the current rate on your date. For lot maps and full details, see "What are my parking options at the venue?" on the official site.

Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre FAQ

Before you head to Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre (formerly USANA Amphitheater), here's what you need to know about the name change, location, bag and water policies, arrival timing, and tailgating rules.

What Did Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre Used to Be Called?

It was the USANA Amphitheater. The West Valley City venue carried the USANA name for years before the naming rights shifted to Utah First Credit Union, which is why you'll see both names on tickets, maps and older event listings. Nothing about the physical venue changed with the rename — same location, same reserved-and-lawn layout, same capacity. If you booked a show listed under either name, you're going to the same place. Older tour posters and ticket confirmations that still say "USANA" are current and valid.

Where Is the Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre?

The venue sits in West Valley City, Utah, in the Salt Lake City metro area, with general parking at 5150 S Upper Ridge Road. It's an outdoor amphitheater, so shows run rain or shine through the summer season. Getting there by car is the norm for most concertgoers, and general parking is typically available with admission, while upgraded lots may be sold separately. Give yourself extra time on show nights, since traffic backs up around the lots as start time approaches.

Can You Bring Water Into the Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre?

You can bring an empty reusable clear bottle and fill it at a water station inside. Frozen bottles, metal bottles and glass containers are not allowed, and sealed outside drinks are usually turned away at the gate. The clear-bottle rule keeps you hydrated through a long summer show without paying for every refill. Rules can change by event, so scan the venue's current allowed-items list before you leave home, especially for festival-style bills with their own policies.

How Early Should I Arrive at Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre?

Parking lots open at noon on show days, and arriving one to two hours before the first act is a safe bet. Early arrival helps you clear the bag check, find your lawn spot or seat, and grab food before the openers start. Lawn seating is first come, first served for most shows, so getting there early matters more if you're on the grass. For big headliners, add extra buffer for traffic around West Valley City.

Can You Tailgate at Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre?

Tailgating policies at the venue vary by event and are set by the promoter, so there's no blanket yes or no. Some shows allow light pre-show gathering in the lots once they open at noon, while others restrict it. Since the venue is cash-free and has its own food and drink inside, plan on grabbing refreshments after entry if a lot policy limits outside items. Check your specific event's details on the official site, since rules can differ between a country show and a festival bill.
