Utah Gymnastics Puts On The Best Show In Town
A recent article by BuzzFeed highlighted the Utah Gymnastics team and their incredible fan following in Salt Lake City. They called it 'there-could-be-worse-problems-to-have' news, noting that the team is beginning to be too popular for the Huntsman Center's own good.

Utah has always been known for their legendary crowds at gymnastics meets, averaging more than 14,000 fans per meet during the past six seasons, according to the article. When Oregon State came into town last week for a huge Pac-12 matchup, 15,500 fans were packed into the arena and many were turned away by the fire marshal.

Utah Gymnastics is working to figure out this issue without raising ticket prices. "One of our best marketing tools is that we are one of the best shows in town but we don't cost that much," Megan Marsden told the Salt Lake Tribune.

Clearly, people love great gymnastics, and that's what these meets provide.

Last night, Utah competed against Arizona and won the meet with a season-high 197.15. Watch Samantha Partyka earn a 9.975 for her floor routine:
