Jazz Press Conference: Major Facility Changes

[mellow]

Kudos to them if they're doing so. Better than asking the public to spend money on a new stadium. Actually, I don't think they even used public funds to finance it (I have no idea about other details like getting the land for free or at a discount or tax incentives). That legitimately impresses me as well.

I thought they got some help from SLC in the form of delayed or discounted impact or connection fees. Not unusual for any major anchor or tenent in a City downtown. In the case of the DC/ESA it was a win for Jazz, City, and citizens.

The ESA is fine. A new jumbotron/screen has been needed for years. Cool.

I sure hope the court doesn't look like that. Barf.

Amazing scoreboard. Worst hardwood in the league.

Amazing scoreboard. Worst hardwood in the league.

The seats are worse than the wood.

I really like the green paint and the darker wood down the middle of the floor. I hate the mountains along the side. Remove that and I think it is awesome.

No mountains.

I’m being told the mountains on the court with old logo are not part of a redesign.

I actually like the mountains I just don't like the center court Jazz symbol... That whole era of the jazz brand was horrific.

Looking forward to this.
