Group behind effort to bring an MLB team to Salt Lake City has released early concept art of what a stadium could look like in the Rocky Mountain Power District.
SALT LAKE CITY — A group headed by the Miller family is looking to bring Major League Baseball to northern Utah.
“We believe in the power of sports to elevate and unify communities,” said Miller. “Larry and I risked everything to acquire the Utah Jazz, and it was a tremendous honor to ensure it thrived as a model franchise. We now have an opportunity to welcome Major League Baseball to Utah and invite all Utahns to join us in this effort.”
ESPNs Jeff Passan said the effort to bring a team to Salt Lake City would first be through expansion and not relocation, and that the expansion fee is expected to hit $2 billion. Gov. Spencer Cox told ESPN that Utah is a"baseball state" and has proven its sports credentials by hosting the Olympics and the recent NBA All-Star Game.
