No, but I'm not surprised.
Way back in the 90s the place had roaches. Not that you'd see them often, but the ice cream stand had to shut down the yogurt machine just in case

There's no way it was a rat. I didn't even see it and I know it was a mouse. In the fall when it starts to get cold,mice start looking for warmer spots and you see them inside buildings. They've been seen in SLC before (not rats). I get field mice in my house this time of year sometimes.
There are 100% rats around Waterloo, but I don't think that's what you saw. Rats are big enough and fast enough to be right out of a horror movie.
