Delta Center is one of the NBA's most enduring and beloved arenas β the passionate home of the Utah Jazz since 1991 and now undergoing a landmark multi-year transformation to create the NBA's first-ever premier dual-sport arena optimised for both basketball and hockey. Located in downtown Salt Lake City approximately 15 minutes from Salt Lake City International Airport, Delta Center anchors a vibrant sports and entertainment complex two blocks from the Salt Palace Convention Center. Originally opened on October 4, 1991, at a cost of just $66 million and constructed in a record 15 months and 24 days, Delta Center has hosted two NBA Finals (1997 and 1998), two NBA All-Star Weekends (1993 and 2023), and the 2002 Olympic Winter Games. The naming rights relationship with Delta Air Lines has an unusual history: Delta has been the arena's naming rights partner twice β the original Delta Center opened in 1991, the name was changed to EnergySolutions Arena in 2006, then USANA Health Sciences Arena in 2019, before Delta Air Lines re-established the naming rights in June 2023 in a milestone return agreement. In April 2025, Smith Entertainment Group (SEG) began a multi-year renovation programme to transform Delta Center into a state-of-the-art dual-sport venue for both the Utah Jazz (NBA) and the Utah Mammoth β Utah's NHL franchise that began play in the 2024β25 season. A revolutionary retractable seating system maintains close-to-the-action seating for Jazz fans (the arena's famous steep vertical seating and intense home atmosphere) while providing full-view sightlines from every seat for NHL games. When renovation is complete, basketball capacity will increase from 18,175 to approximately 19,000. A 450-stall parking structure is under construction outside the arena, completing in 2026. The 12,000-square-foot America First Atrium at the main entrance houses the Utah Jazz and Utah Mammoth team stores, and the main plaza features an illuminated Jazz Note statue (14 feet high, 21 feet wide) alongside a 14-foot hockey puck representing the Utah Mammoth.
Delta Center opened on October 4, 1991, at a cost of $66 million β built in a record 15 months and 24 days, making it one of the fastest major arena constructions in American sports history. The arena was the primary facility for the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics. The Utah Jazz reached two consecutive NBA Finals at Delta Center β the 1997 and 1998 Finals against the Chicago Bulls β the defining moments of the Karl Malone and John Stockton era, losing both series to Michael Jordan's dynasty team. The arena hosted NBA All-Star Weekend in 1993 and again in 2023. The naming history reflects corporate partnership transitions: Delta Center (1991β2006), EnergySolutions Arena (2006β2019), USANA Health Sciences Arena (2019β2023), Delta Center (2023βpresent) β the return of Delta Air Lines as naming partner in 2023 was sports history's first naming rights re-establishment. A $125 million renovation was completed in 2017. In 2024, Delta Center was modified to host the Utah Mammoth NHL franchise. In April 2025, SEG began the landmark multi-year renovation to create the world's first dedicated dual-sport NBA/NHL arena with an innovative retractable seating system.
Delta Center has long been cited by visiting NBA players as one of the league's most intimidating venues β the arena's famously steep vertical seating creates an unusually close and loud environment that amplifies the Utah Jazz fanbase's passionate support. The Jazz have cultivated a devoted, knowledgeable fanbase across the state of Utah. Pre-game, the America First Atrium provides a vibrant gathering space with the Jazz and Mammoth team stores, while the main plaza Jazz Note statue has become an essential photo stop. The Gateway District, Squatters Pub Brewery, and downtown SLC restaurants provide pre-game dining and drinking options. For the most intense atmospheres: playoff games, and any Jazz game when the home-court environment reaches the levels that made the 1997β98 Finals runs so memorable to visiting opponents and to global basketball audiences. Now dual-sport with the Mammoth, the arena's 2025β2027 transformation promises to deliver that famous Jazz intensity to NHL fans as well.
