Sounds like a new arena may be on the way

Interesting that we just discussed this topic a couple weeks ago.

I’m totally on board with building a new arena.

If they were to keep the huntsman it’d need a facelift. I figured they could have finagled some Olympic funds to update the arena (assuming it would be used for something in ’34) but I’m also not opposed to a new arena. My only question is where would they put it? They’re running out of old buildings on campus to tear down.

Could they buy out the LDS institute across the street and keep it with access to 400S?

Misty likely spot for the new arena is in the new development where the MLB baseball park will be.

It’s likely in the west parking lot of rice-Eccles and then a parking structure is to be built in the northeast parking lot. Second option is fort Douglas land, as that is released next year and will be university land. Off campus is not being considered at this time.
