The America First Field fan experience in Sandy, Utah is now boosted by Comcast Smart Solutions (CSS) inside the stadium’s 33 private suites. The Comcast Business partnership with professional soccer clubs Real Salt Lake (RSL) and Utah Royals FC (URFC) is designed to enhance the viewing experience inside the venue during live football matches. MLS and NWSL fans can look both forward to IPTVs that provide synchronized content in the suites, from live game feeds to sponsorship messaging. With a robust Content Management System, Real Salt Lake and Utah Royals FC can now deliver remote content updates across the venue, streamlining fan engagement and enhancing operational efficiency. The Sports Techie community blog encourages soccer fans to attend games at America First Field (AFF) with its picturesque backdrop of the Wasatch Mountain. Established in 2004 and calling America First Field home, RSL is a 21-year-old professional Major League Soccer club that has built a passionate fan base.

AFF Suite Digitization by Comcast Corporation
This collaboration demonstrates Comcast’s unique ability to deliver comprehensive solutions, combining the technology and expertise of both Comcast Business and Comcast Smart Solutions. Comcast Business provides high-performance connectivity, including a Dedicated Internet connection and video content distribution across the suites. At the same time, Comcast Smart Solutions delivered an advanced digital signage platform, installing 33 IPTV screens and a centralized IPTV content management system (CMS) to manage the displays. With remote content management, this solution eliminates the need for manual screen adjustments, helping to improve operational efficiency and enhancing the overall fan experience.
Christian Nascimento, Senior Vice President, Connectivity and Digital Customer Solutions, Comcast Business, said, “Comcast Business is proud to play a key role in transforming the fan experience at America First Field. Through our advanced connectivity solutions, we’re enabling Real Salt Lake and Utah Royals FC to elevate engagement with their fans while powering smooth, efficient operations. Our ability to integrate these technologies with Comcast Smart Solutions showcases how we can deliver comprehensive, cutting-edge systems that meet the unique needs of modern sports venues and enterprises worldwide.”
The new IPTV and digital signage solutions are part of a broader effort to modernize the stadium’s technology infrastructure. Prior to the upgrade, the suite televisions relied on analog systems.

“By combining the power of Comcast Business and Comcast Smart Solutions, we’ve created a seamless, integrated system that meets the unique needs of a modern sports venue like America First Field.
