Ryan wants a new arena

[enchilada_style]

Our boy Andy wrote a story about Ryan's desire to build a new arena. Here is a little snapshot of what Andy posted on Reddit.

Salt Lake City is ‘working hard’ to keep the Utah Jazz downtown, city leaders say. What happens next?

The Utah Jazz have inquired about the potential to build an arena outside of Salt Lake City, but downtown stakeholders are making pitches to keep the team in the heart of the city long term.

Smart to tap more into the Utah County market. Much easier to get into Draper area than fight traffic all the way downtown.

Also Ryan lives in Provo area so convenient for him

Yeah, he was in my new SIL's BYU Bishopric (I think the actual Bishop.)

Is he paying for it or is he trying to make the city?

There's no way tiny *** Draper can afford to pay for a billion dollar arena. He's paying for it if he's moving to Draper. Or maybe he's trying to strong arm SLC to pay for a new arena so he wouldn't move.

Moving to Provo. Confirmed. The Provo Jazz. Just when you thought the dichotomy couldn't get any wider.

There’s no land for an arena and supporting infrastructure In utah county. Not unless you build that thing in Spanish fork or Payson. From the point to south Provo, it’s pretty landlocked.

Ryan should wait until the product is watchable. I have no interests in having my taxes raised to support this garbage losing by 50 to Dallas.

Or he makes the state pay for it

I would if I was Ryan. Use that leverage. Utah needs the Jazz more than Ryan needs Utah.
