This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. The Delta Center – home to the Utah Jazz and Utah Mammoth – is Utah’s premier sports and entertainment venue. Hosting over 320 events each year and drawing nearly 1.8 million guests, it’s a vital downtown destination. Here to share more is President of the Utah Jazz, Jim Olson.
Jim Olson:
Utah’s sports and entertainment landscape was transformed when NHL hockey arrived in Salt Lake City last year, doubling the number of professional sports events at the Delta Center and bringing an additional influx of visitors from across the state and beyond. Hockey’s arrival also provided the opportunity to create an even better fan experience at Delta Center.
In April, Smith Entertainment Group began a multi-year renovation to transform the arena into a world-class, dual-sport venue. This summer, we implemented a one-of-a-kind seating system that maintains close-to-the-action seating for Jazz fans, while also providing full views from every lower-bowl seat for NHL games.
This new seating system preserves the Delta Center’s famous game-night atmosphere and bolsters its reputation as the premier destination for concerts and live entertainment. As we prepare for the return of events this fall, we look forward to showcasing this first-phase of the Delta Center innovations that will make every fans’ experience even more memorable.
