The most famous college gymnastics facility in the country, Utah's Jon M. Huntsman Center has showcased more major collegiate gymnastics meets than any other venue.

The Huntsman Center has hosted a record nine national championships—one AIAW and eight NCAA Championships: 1981 (AIAW), 1982, 1983, 1985, 1987, 1988, 1994, 1999 and 2007.Other gymnastics events making Huntsman Center appearances include the 1979 USGF World Championships Trials, the 1980 and '82 Championships of the USA, the 1993 World University Games Trials, 14 NCAA regional championships and two Pac-12 Championships.

Opened in 1969 on the southeast side of campus (elevation 4,657 feet), the 15,000-seat Huntsman Center is still in pristine condition. The facility underwent a $6 million renovation in the summer of 2014. The project included the installation of a super-grid ceiling structure, a state-of-the-art sound system, brighter and energy-efficient LED lighting in the arena and concourse, a maple wood floor, and updated graphics wrapping the walls of the lower bowl and mid-level concourse. New videoboards were installed in the fall of 2017 at a cost of $4.1 million.

Also calling the Huntsman Center home are the Ute men's and women's basketball, and women's volleyball teams. The Huntsman Center ranks third among the nation's arenas for most NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament games held (81), including the 1979 Final Four starring Larry Bird and Magic Johnson.
