Realize it’s not basketball related but in my opinion it would be amazing to see LHM bring in another pro sports org to our state. Baseball is also the perfect foil for the NBA because its season runs from April to October.
Yes please
Very interesting
Interested if they play downtown. Ain’t nobody going to daybreak to watch
That would be awesome
That’d be so sick but it’d feel wrong to not root for a Utah team primarily. I’m too loyal to my Cubbies lmao hopefully Utah would be playing in the American League.
Does me promising to go back to church if they make this happen help?
Wish it were hockey or football
I was at the announcement. Rocky Mountain Power owns about 100 acres of land near Redwood and North Temple. Their HQ building is being replaced with a new building, but they want to redevelop the rest of the site. It sounds like if the MLB campaign is successful, the new stadium compose the major piece of that land.
Lauri gonna leave for MLB, and come back and do a 3peat championship run with Jazz, 3MVP too.
I’m skeptical we could support it, but it’d be cool if they could pull it off.
Would be rough to go against my Braves haha don’t think I have that in me. I would buy season tickets immediately though.
White people do love baseball.
Wait until you hear what Ryan Smith has up his sleeve lol
I’m not as into baseball as I’d like to be, and this would be a great way to make that happen.
