Nielsen Fieldhouse
S. Campus Drive
Salt Lake City, UT 84112
Opened: September 12, 1939
The Einar Nielsen Fieldhouse was a multi-purpose arena in Salt Lake City, Utah. Opened in 1939 on the University of Utah campus, it was the home venue of Utes basketball for thirty years, and was formally dedicated on the night of Tuesday, January 9, 1940.

The fieldhouse hosted a pair of first round games of the 23-team NCAA tournament in 1968, and high school basketball state tournaments. It was succeeded as the primary indoor venue on campus by the Special Events Center, which opened in late 1969.

The building served as a fitness and recreation center for students and staff at the university for many years, but now acts as a studio for students in the "pre-programs" for Multidisciplinary Design and Architecture.

It is located in the southwest portion of campus, just north of Rice-Eccles Stadium, separated by Campus Drive. The approximate elevation at street level is 4,650 feet above sea level.
