Can't believe we will have a arena on par in terms of costs with that arena, nuts.
The DC originally housed the SLC Golden Eagles and then the Utah Grizzles, both of the IHL. It also was the figure skating and short track speed skating venue for the 2002 Olympics. For hockey, the DC holds the record for one game attendance in American minor league hockey history, during the 1996 Turner Cup Finals, at 17381. Renovations were done, in 2016, to improve the place as a basketball arena, that are part of the reason for the current sight-line difficulties.
