ESPN NBA

HISTORY:

The $93 million EnergySolutions Arena opened in 1991 as the Delta Center, which had replaced the Salt Palace as the Utah Jazz's first home starting in 1979. In 1999, the arena suffered $3.75 million worth of damage to the roof from a tornado. EnergySolutions bought the naming rights to the arena in November 2006. The arena was used for figure skating and short-track speed skating during the 2002 Winter Olympics and has twice hosted the NBA Finals. Statues of Jazz greats John Stockton and Karl Malone are on display outside the arena. Jazztown is part of the upper bowl area where fans can enjoy special features on the fifth-level concourse, including Jazz tattoos and commemorative photos. The building received more than $4 million of renovations and improvements in summer 2010, adding more retail and dining options, including several pubs and clubs.
