Utah law that prevents govt facilities from banning guns

[u/Bankable1349]

I can't seem to find the law that prevents govt facilities from banning firearms or some variant of this. I'm curious if this somehow exempts U of U sporting events? I spoke with security from Eccles theater and they advised me that they are legally forbidden from banning weapons, even though apparently promoters can require it. I got surprised by a weapons check at Eccles for a show a couple weeks ago. No warning at all outside the venue or in emails from the venue about the event. Thankfully I wasn't carrying, it would have been a long walk back to the car.

There is a catch to this. Private party renting a government building. While it is a government owned building. while leased to a private company they can ban weapons themselves since they are renters. I encountered a similar situation while in salt lake a while back while at a different gov building that was leased for a private event that had banned any weapons.

I was more looking to see how the U of U is able to ban weapons in sporting events and make everyone walk through their stupid weapon detectors.
