Utah law that prevents govt facilities from banning guns

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.

General rule for me is if there's alcohol and crowds, I don't want a firearm on me.

There is no alcohol at the Huntsman center. And as long as I'm not drinking, I don't care what others are doing. If you carrying is effected by others drinking around you then you should rethink your carry.

Sporting events are a prime place for drunk idiots to get in fist fights. they rarely go beyond that, but nothing stopping ya from getting blind sided and KOd even if you're not involved. But I'm not billy badass like you. Good to know about no alcohol in the huntsman center tho.

I'm not going to packed football games, I'm going to less popular sports and there is rarely anyone even 5 seats away. Even in the RARE chance you got knocked out not even being part of a fight, is someone going to pat you down and take your weapon?
