What's wrong with throwing a ****ing bone to an underserved neighborhood? Like I said, that's where I grew up. You all hate it for some kind of reason but I absolutely love that neighborhood and that area. Easy access, just as easy as getting to the Delta Center. No one is going to go all NIMBY on the project as it's replacing an industrial area. I could literally be standing at home plate at that thing in less than a 5 min walk from the house I grew up in. My dad worked at Mountain Fuel (later Questar and now Dominion) right there and he'd walk to work every day.
People complained about the Utah Beer Festival being held at the Utah State Fairpark despite that being the best venue they had ever had for that event. The one downtown next to The Leonardo was terrible. People just hate Glendale, Poplar Grove, Rose Park without knowing anything about it and that real people live there and/or grew up there.
If they build an MLB stadium anywhere else in Utah now I just want to burn it to the ground and tag it all over with "WEST SIDE"
