Obviously this guy is passionate about making YouTube videos, but if he’d do a little bit of research before hitting record he would save himself a lot of embarrassment and might even produce some decent content. You think renovating Climate Pledge Arena and Delta Center doesn’t make sense, okay, what effort did you put into understanding it? None? Forgive us then for not taking you seriously. When you need background information for a video there’s a wonderful website called Google that can help you get started.
Here's my question: where did Ryan Smith think this was going to happen when he presented his case before Utah state legislators to get the public funding needed to make this thing happen? Plus what exactly is going on with the Gateway? Almost every time I go there nowadays, it is a ghost town. There are very few shops left, nobody goes to the theater there anymore, and the only things drawing people in are the planetarium and the children's museum. Couldn't they just knock some of those buildings down and build the new arena there? Yes, the Delta Center could be salvaged if they somehow made the sightlines work for hockey as well as basketball, but it's going to take a lot of work, as he said. But at least the good news is, at the rate things are going, it'll be about four years before the Jazz are able to play between mid-April and mid-September, so that gives construction workers plenty of time to work on the renovations if needed.
Didnt Atlanta completely redo the interior and add more suites ? Its doable over 2-3 off-seasons. They have 4 months of 24/7 work each year to complete renos
This guy doesn’t get it. We can tell he’s not from Utah. It’s no space going down the wastch front. They just renamed the arena back to the delta center so it’s a lot of history there. No one is saying to tear down the staples or msg. We glorify those arena cause of the history well damn it the delta center is the same. Also to the Utahns that wanna move from the city to the suburbs good luck getting home if you live from Draper to Provo. I15 and state street is already bad after games and now y’all wanna move it closer to where you live. No chance. One last thing having an arena downtown is so much fun than the suburbs it’s more things to do. Bar hop, restaurants etc. I hope they keep the delta but redo the inside and I’m excited for the current and future professional sports in Utah!!!!
Climate Pledge Arena (formally Key Area), has an extremely unique exterior all to itself. I’m sure they kept it as it because everyone appreciates its uniqueness besides Depressed Ginger.
I actually like the exterior of Climate Pledge Arena. What exactly is wrong with it? It's got a retro look, but it's not aged, and look sleek and clean.
The interior of MSG was basically entirely reconstructed over the course of 3 summers (2011 – 2013). The Knicks and Rangers schedules weren't affected at all.
Ginger, it's apparent you know little about sports, and even less of a given fan bases preference. Please tell us, how many arenas have your purchases or built. Absolete for NBA? That's when I knew you've never attended an NBA game there, secondly, you have no idea what you're talking about. Sit back, relax, let things play out, you might just learn something.
There won't be any "arena drama" in terms of site or money – the question is what's it going to look like when it's done, and will the outcome be sound structurally as well as aesthetically? Rogers Communications did a major renovation of the Rogers Centre over the past two off-seasons for the Blue Jays (still working on club level stuff), and that's a retractable dome ballpark which opened in 1989 and thus much bigger than the Delta Center.
Ryan Smith owns the Delta Center and Utah has apparently approved $900M in taxpayer dollars to bring an NHL team to SLC, so he's got plenty of money to renovate it as well as current technology will allow. The Delta Center is located in downtown SLC anyway, so it would be part of any big downtown district development in any case.
Utah politicians hold the cards here. If they want the teams to play at the existing Delta Center, Smith has no choice as he'd have to get permitting and rezoning approvals from city / state bodies to build any new arena anywhere else. No permitting an zoning approval, no arena. I bet the exterior gets a refresh as well.
You obviously have done no research into why they kept the exterior of Climate Pledge Arena, nor the conditions the City of Seattle set for bringing an NHL team to the city.

Yeah Ginger – it was all wishful thinking on your part ( like it usually is lol).

I’m all for the environment but that is a terrible name
I'm sure he can buy sum land from Blackrock-Vanguard at an insane price.
