DEE EVENTS CENTER

What do The Beach Boys, Johnny Cash, Kenny G and Taylor Swift all have in common? They have all performed in the Dee Events Center. While the Dee Events Center has hosted these famed visitors and more, it is the home of the Weber State University men’s and women’s basketball teams.

This $11.3 billion, 43 acre facility has also housed NCAA tournaments, Utah Jazz preseason games, and Big Sky tournaments, as well as other NCAA basketball playoff games. “The Dee” is also a site for numerous religious and community events, graduations, and high school basketball championships.

With enough seats to hold over 12,000 people, this center is easily one of the most popular on campus. All students get in free with their Wildcards and may bring up to four friends.

STEWART STADIUM

Offering one of the most pristine views in Ogden, Stewart Stadium is one of the most picturesque facilities in all of Division 1 FCS football. Stewart Stadium is the home of Weber State football along with track and field since the stadium opened in the 1950s.

Since the 38,000 square foot Sky suite and press box opened in 2001, this stadium has hosted numerous campus and community events, weddings, and dances. There have been concerts and religious performances throughout the decades inside Stewart Stadium, most notably when Metallica came to Ogden in 1998.

Just like the Dee Events Center, students get in free to the sporting events with their Wildcards, in addition to four other guests.

WILDCAT SOCCER FIELD

Since the women’s soccer team was instituted in 1996, this pristine field, which holds over 500 fans, has hosted three Big Sky Soccer Championships. The field was just renovated in 2017 with the addition of lights, allowing the team to play at night. Students are free to come and go to WSU soccer games.
