The new arena is 45 miles south of the Salt Lake City International Airport, a major international hub airport. Also note that Provo Airport has limited commercial service via Allegiant Air. Those flying in to compete should not need to change their travel plans.
The event will retain its competition schedule, as well as all other specific details of event operations. This event offers high quality folkstyle competition to youth wrestlers, and is open to competitors from across the nation. It is a great way to kick off the new 2021 year!!!
