[00:00:00]Utah, we're so excited to show you the next phase of renovation on the Delta Center. Um this has been an incredible journey, what an incredible year that we've had. We tried to look and say, "Okay, within our Utah fan base, which by the way is the most amazing fan base in the world?" Our fans for basketball who have shown up the last 4 years through a rebuild every single night packing [music] the house here at the Delta Center, as well as an amazing fan base who have embraced hockey and this community that's come together has been [music] unlike anything I've ever seen.

[00:00:34]And so, we're about ready to go in and show the next phase of the fan experience and the arena experience that we're going to go through. The challenge was, "Hey, could you go into a building and [music] actually remodel the entire lower bowl and upper bowl and not lose this amazing basketball experience, but maybe even improve it for the future, as well as making it so every single view is both good for hoops and for hockey?"

[00:01:03]And that's what we've done. The hockey sightlines need to be spread out a lot further because the ice rink is much larger than a basketball court. The size is is quite different. You know, part of this process is bringing in the best and brightest who have kind of transformed some of the most iconic arenas in the world to come to Utah to help on this project. With the goal of being able to maintain this incredible fan experience that we have, as well as being home of two major franchises.

[00:01:39]Going back to 2025, you know, we really had to start from the ground up. We had to build the foundation, you know, structurally [music] so that we would be able to build up. And now we're ready to keep working our way up and finishing off this arena [music] over the next couple of years. So, the question is is really like, how do you do this?

[00:01:56]>> [snorts] >> So, last year with the lower bowl, we showed the new cutting edge riser system where we can press a button and go through setup takedown and actually change the entire slope, not [music] just forward and backwards, but actually um have a little bit more of a hydraulic in there.

[00:02:16]For '26 [music] and '27, we're going to move to the upper bowl. For '26, we're going to focus on the north [music] end of the upper bowl. And for '27, we'll focus on the south end of the upper bowl.

[00:02:28]So, what do you do [music] on our side, on the north side, where our benches are?

[00:02:34]And we've gone with >> [music] >> uh terrace-like structure. So, instead of having something that goes long [music] and back, we've gone extremely vertical. Actually, that view's pretty incredible. I mean, this is double black diamond area. And what [music] that will do is make sure that every seat has full view of of both [music] basketball and hockey. We've talked a lot about sightlines. And we're excited to launch a new view that we've never had before.

[00:03:03]They're our gondolas. And these are on our sides. They're from the top to give a view with a couple hundred seats for our fans, and we can't wait for everyone to come experience this because there's [music] really nothing like it that we've ever had here at the Delta Center.

[00:03:20]Once we complete the '26 renovation of the north side, we will move over to the south side. And the south side's different. This is our opposing bench for both hockey and hoops. And we're doing something [music] a little more unique where right now we currently have a divided structure between the lower and the upper bowl.

[00:03:38]These are coming together. It will be intense. And it the proximity to the opposing teams is going to be much closer, [music] all the way connected.

[00:03:49]You're going to feel that intensity from the floor, you know, all the way up so that that visiting team can really they can feel the fans right on top of them.

[00:03:58]It's going to create even a greater home advantage than what we already have.

[00:04:03]We're excited about this. [music] This will be one fan experience. It's going to be loud and it'll be different. Something that that we've never had here [music] and then we're going to come up with a lot of unique things that separates us and makes us a loudest arena to [music] play in in sports.

[00:04:17]And for our hockey fans, there'll be no more single goal view seats. Everyone will be able to see both nets and we'll be able to do it in a way that that this place can move [music] in and out in a very efficient and quick manner.

[00:04:34]When our fans come back in October, where the [music] world's changing constantly, where technology is at the forefront of what most people are thinking about, [music] there's one thing that's constant and that's that sports brings people together. This place should be a place where no matter what [music] experience you're looking for, whether you're with your family and you want to have a moment, whether you want to come and just forget about life for a while, whether you want to have a story and someone to follow along, that's the beauty of sports and it's not going anywhere and there's an experience [music] here for every single person in our community and we want all to feel welcome.

[00:05:10]>> [music] >> I think we've done a pretty good job of creating an experience that captures all [music] of that. So, no matter who you are, the Delta Center can be home for you.
