“I had many family members who went to the U and growing up, I was always intrigued by what they would tell me about the school’s programs.

Jazz and Utah Hockey Club owner Ryan Smith is close to finalizing a deal with Salt Lake City that would see the teams be required to play all of their home games in the Delta Center “for the next 30 years or face significant penalties,” according to a front-page piece by Gehrke & Miller of the SALT LAKE TRIBUNE. In exchange for $900M in public financing to “renovate the arena and develop a three-block sports and entertainment district,” Smith Entertainment Group would agree to pay up to $125M “if either team leaves the arena in the first 15 years” or $250M if both leave, with the penalties “decreasing by about” $16M a year after that. In addition, if both teams leave, SEG “could be required to repay whatever part” of the $900M it had received up to that point. Gehrke & Miller noted the participation agreement is a “critical step” in moving the downtown sports and entertainment district forward. It provides, “in broad terms,” the “vision for the district and conditions for the city agreeing to a half-percentage-point sales tax increase citywide.” The council discussed the proposed pact at its work session yesterday, but a “potential vote” on the accord was delayed to July 9. Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall acknowledged that the project planning has been “rushed and doesn’t provide as much opportunity for public scrutiny and input,” but the city “has to meet the deadline” in the state law passed during the legislative session (SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, 7/2).
