(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) The Olympic cauldron is returned to the University of Utah on Friday, Jan. 29, 2021, after a refurbishment to lengthen its life span. Removed in February 2020, the cauldron was transported to an off-site location, where all 738 glass panes were removed and the complete structure was sandblasted and refinished. The refurbished structure was placed on a newly constructed, 17-foot-tall pedestal, just north of the stadium ticket office, with plans to add high-quality glass.
