The planned modifications to the downtown Salt Lake City venue aim to accommodate the newly established professional ice hockey team while maintaining its functionality as a multi-purpose facility, primarily serving as the home of the Utah Jazz basketball team. These improvements encompass upgrades to the ice plant, locker rooms, and spectator areas to meet the specific requirements of a National Hockey League franchise.
This undertaking represents a significant investment in Utah’s sports infrastructure and contributes to the diversification of the state’s entertainment offerings. The enhancements are expected to not only attract hockey fans but also enhance the overall experience for all attendees of events held at the venue, potentially stimulating economic activity in the surrounding downtown area. The project reflects a strategic vision to expand the appeal of Salt Lake City as a premier destination for both sports and entertainment.
