The heart of the Pig Bus is the people. Come for the food, stay for the conversation, then come back next game day with somebody new. Visiting fans get fed too — that is the whole point.

Field notes

Utah vs Houston · Sat, Oct 24

  • Find the bus at 527 Guardsman Way, Salt Lake City. Look for the roaster smoke.
  • Kickoff time is still TBA, so tailgate times are not set yet. Once Utah Athletics announces it, the bus opens 7 hours before kickoff.
  • Say hello. Bring a friend. Visiting fans welcome, win or lose.
  • Kickoff times come from Utah Athletics, so TBA games firm up about a week or two out.

21+ to drink, and alcohol is never sold. Bus, stairs and upper deck are by crew permission only, within occupancy limits. Never drink and drive. Alcohol & Responsible Drinking · Bus, Stairs & Upper Deck Safety · Guest Code of Conduct

Schedule, kickoff times and results checked against utahutes.com (opens in a new tab) on October 13, 2026. “TBA” means Utah Athletics has not announced a kickoff time yet, so the tailgate times for that game are not set either. Menus come from the crew’s own 2026 menu poster.
