Stadium Building via Special District creation

Utah Legislature is working to bring a new NHL stadium dream to reality by pushing SB 272 (2024 | UT) that would create a sports of entertainment district to utilize tax reinvestment funding to support the building of the $1B stadium complex. Supporters also say the stadium is a downtown revitalization opportunity.

Utah is also seeking a MLB team. HB 562 (2024 | UT) creates a similar reinvestment zone district to support the MLB stadium.
