Jazz Press Conference: Major Facility Changes

Kudos to them if they're doing so. Better than asking the public to spend money on a new stadium. Actually, I don't think they even used public funds to finance it (I have no idea about other details like getting the land for free or at a discount or tax incentives). That legitimately impresses me as well.
 
There's nothing wrong with the ESA- the fans love it, it's still considered one of the loudest arenas in the NBA when packed, and so I love the moves to try and expand it's life capacity. Whatever the new scoreboard is, I'm sure it will be a major upgrade.

Yeah, Miller's paid for ESA themselves. That being said, they need to upgrade, and are trying to without building a new building. The problem is, where do you move the ESA, or where do the Jazz play for 1 year while you tear down/rebuild the ESA?

Also, in the next 20 years, you and I will be paying for a new stadium for the Jazz. They were awesome to build on themselves, but they won't do it again.

I thought they got some help from SLC in the form of delayed or discounted impact or connection fees. Not unusual for any major anchor or tenent in a City downtown. In the case of the DC/ESA it was a win for Jazz, City, and citizens.

Amazing scoreboard. Worst hardwood in the league.

I really like the green paint and the darker wood down the middle of the floor. I hate the mountains along the side. Remove that and I think it is awesome.
 
I actually like the mountains I just don't like the center court Jazz symbol... That whole era of the jazz brand was horrific.
 
We should all thank the Millers for this, big time. This is going to make the live game experience so much better. From those of us who pay to see games, thank you.
