SALT LAKE CITY – The Delta Center rebrand is officially in motion.
The Vivint Arena signs were taken down in early May. Even though the building won’t be officially renamed as the Delta Center until July, the signage is already being installed.
The arena was built in 1991 under the title Delta Center. The Jazz moved to the arena after spending the early years of the franchise in the Salt Palace.
Delta retained the naming rights until 2006 when EnergySolutions bid for the title.
The arena was called EnergySolutions Arena from 2006-2015 when Utah-based home security company Vivint Smart Home bought the naming rights. Vivint was set to own the team’s naming rights through 2025.
Vivint Arena Rebranding As Delta Center
In January, the Smith Entertainment Group announced that the Jazz home arena was reverting to the Delta Center title for the first time since 2006.
Though the arena name will be rebranded as the Delta Center beginning in July, Vivint will remain an integral partner for the Jazz. The tech giant announced it had extended its partnership with the Jazz through 2030.
