Yetis live in Yurts.

Fact.

The Yurt just doesn't have the same ring as the arena being the hive and fans being the Swarm

SLC created a webpage covering the plans for in and around Delta Center.

Capital City Revitalization Zone

The Council is considering raising sales tax citywide by 0.5% to support development in a Sports, Entertainment, Culture, and Convention (SECC) District around the Delta Center.

It's nice the city council can raise taxes without consulting those pesky citizens. That's what representative democracy is about.

this is what got my attention. I was reading an article where the ownership group has now gone to the state and city with cap in hand asking for stuff.

I thought the Smyth group said they were not going to the state or city except for small stuff. I know you Governor Cox signed a thing to help bring baseball and hockey to your state and fund some Jazz stuff as well. But in reading the article..It seems he was asking for complete control and all taxes from like a 5 square mile radios around what he wants to build. Was this just some hit piece or did Smyth ask for a lot of stuff from the city and the state?

Bettman and Smith said this very same thing at the introductory press conference when the sale was officially announced.

That’s the big question.

Most of us here aren’t plugged into the SLC media like we are in Arizona. So we know where the AZ media sits, just have to figure out who all the players are in Utah.
