Utah has some pretty amazing professional sports teams. We love the Jazz and the Mammoth, but there are other professional teams to enjoy as well. Recently we had the opportunity to see the a professional Ultimate Frisbee match. We were surprised at how much fun we had at the Salt Lake Shred match!
The Salt Lake Shred were founded in 2022, and have been competing at Zions Bank Stadium in Herriman since then. We weren’t really aware of this team, but a lot of people were! The west side bleachers were entirely full, and there must have been over a thousand people at the game. The announcer helped clarify the rules for us. He also made the game exciting. There were mini-games at the breaks, dance cameras on the jumbotron, and a cheese grater mascot that threw goodies to the crowd. It was a really electric atmosphere. The ultimate frisbee games are perfect for families, and they have fun activities just for the kids.
The game was great. As it turns out, Ultimate Frisbee is very fast paced, consistently exciting, and has amazing play after amazing play. We were consistently agape as we watched racing, leaping, diving players make shockingly athletic plays. It was really fun!
A few things that you might want to know are, bring a stadium seat if you have one. Though the seats are east facing, which means you are facing away from the sun in full shade, there are just bleachers. There is no seat back, so you may want to bring a bleacher seat if you have one. You can grab tickets on their website: Salt Lake Shred.
