Construction on practice facilities for NHL’s Utah Mammoth was recently completed at the Shops at South Town, located at the corner of 10600 South and State St. The Smith Entertainment Group said having the practice facilities for the two teams be connected offers a “unique and dynamic sports environment” for both teams, allowing the two to cross-collaborate and develop together.
The Jazz currently practice at Zion’s Bank Basketball Campus located just off I-15 in Salt Lake City.
“We’re building an amazing sports campus here with the Jazz practice facility connected to the Utah Mammoth practice facility,” Ryan and Ashley Smith said in a joint statement. “By also incorporating our business offices, this campus will promote efficiency, innovation and collaboration, continuing to focus on bringing the best experiences to our fans.”
