Utah is in a good position to land a Major League Baseball expansion team, but weather and elevation could throw a curveball at plans for a team.
Now retired, Park City resident Tommy Tanzer used to represent Major League Baseball players and managers as they negotiated contracts with teams.
Tanzer praised the proposal to build a baseball stadium in the Fairpark neighborhood west of downtown Salt Lake City on the KPCW Locals New Hour Friday.
“The place where the stadium is very smart,” Tanzer said. “The fairgrounds is a beautiful, big area. It’s underutilized. It’s halfway between downtown and the airport right on the tracks, it’s perfect.”
Utah is aiming to attract the MLB, which has discussed adding two expansion teams. Major sports leagues are turning to the Beehive State amid strong population growth. Professional hockey will debut in Salt Lake City this fall after Utah Jazz owner Ryan Smith acquired the Arizona Coyotes for $1.2 billion last month.
The baseball stadium plan has financial support from the Utah Legislature and the Larry H. Miller Group, the former owner of the Utah Jazz.

As someone who spends at least 1 summer week in SLC a year and as someone who attended the U of U, the power district is a great location for away fans/visitors wanting to fly in for baseball. Most western U.S city require a rental car or a lot of every expensive Uber rides when flying into a given city. The power district is a like a 12 minute light-rail train ride from SLC Airport. Historically that site area has been in a "rough for Salt Lake" part of town, so the stadium and buildout would revitalize the surrounding community. As hotels, bars, and the entertainment district gets built up next to the proposed MLB stadium, out-of-towners can fly in, stay, and see baseball for what looks like a fast and assumably affordable option. It's funny that retail car tax increase pays for a stadium yet many travelers wont be required to rent a car when attending baseball in SLC. NHL fans visiting have a ~25 min train ride when staying near Delta Center/city center.

I don't think the White Sox would ever leave Chicago, they just have way too much history there and I think the MLB would do anything in their power to keep them somewhere in the Chicago area. I think the most likely scenarios for Utah getting an MLB team would be through expansion (with another team in the East like Nashville, Orlando, or Montreal, bringing the total number of teams to 32), relocating the Tampa Bay Rays, or relocating the A's to Salt Lake instead of Las Vegas if that whole situation doesn't work out.

From what I get is that an expansion team is the prefered but nobody knows when that happens. Question is if they get a team to move here who will own the franchise and does the team that comes want to sell? The MLB group is obviously well planned out beyond just exploring to have or not have an MLB team but ready for either expansion or a move and once decided on the design of the stadium shovels are ready to go. Even moving the Bee's out of Salt Lake city south but keeping it in the valley as their triple A team, with a new minor league stadium is serious business. Millers already own the Salt Lake AAA Bee's. Wonder what happens to Smith field where they play now? Smith field is a very nice ballpark with somewhere of 10 to 14k capacity. Funding, land and with the Miller group experience in major league ownership. It is possible that they are even closer or further along to having a franchise than anyone knows or realizes.

The Los Angeles Chargers may be looking for a new home. Salt Lake City could be a great place for the franchise to land. A stadium for the A's and the Chargers would be a better play for Utah than the A's alone. The Chargers have already lost their market in San Diego and now are playing second fiddle to the Rams in Los Angeles. Why don't we just move them to Utah and show them what a real rabid fanbase is like with a new stadium to match.

SLC (west) and Nashville (east) will get the 2 expansion teams shortly after the new Rays ballpark in St. Pete is fully financed and construction begins (really bad idea BTW - build it in Tampa or Orlando). If the A's stay in Sacramento and build a new MLB ballpark there because Fisher can't get a ballpark built in Vegas, LV probably gets the expansion team in the west as I bet a new ownership group steps in and gets it done, and SLC will be forced to look for a relocation situation.

This just reinforces my belief that if Las Vegas falls through, the A's will not stay in Sacramento or end up back in Oakland. Unless Joe Lacob somehow comes in to save the day. And even then, I think he's probably more keen on having a team in the south bay. Which the MLB said is possible via expansion. Which is ridiculous BTW since they blocked the A's from moving there via arbitrary territorial nonsense.

@ckstaff 24 күн бұрын

Drive 5 minutes to the north of the stadium and you enter into another metro area of a million+ so that 1.2 m is a bit misleading and why you have these teams calling themselves Utah instead of Salt Lake. I believe the 1.2m is a very conservative estimate anyway, I think it is more than that. That isn't even mentioning Tooele to the west which is a straight shot to downtown and Utah co. to the south of a 500k+, which is about an hour drive from say the Provo-Orem area to Salt Lake city. I live in the Salt Lake valley in Draper. If I left to go to a game downtown Salt Lake and a person in say north of the SL metro did the same, we both leave at the same time and drive the same speed, they would get there probably 15-20 minutes before I would. It really would be more of how many are baseball fans than it is being big enough population. My guess MLB works in Utah.

While admittedly the Coyotes situation was well played, and the NHL deftly made a hectic, but relatively smooth transfer to the SEG, MLB is a clown car enterprise that has repeatedly demonstrated that it can't do anything of the sort. While I would be all for any scheme that extracts John Fisher from the A's, the overall predicament of Baseball is so dire that Utah may have bought itself an invitation to a party that is already winding down. The A's are merely the one team in full conflagration, but there are no fewer than six other teams where the figurative dumpsters are smoldering, and a half a dozen others that are match ready. Two years from now the entire American League may look like Devil's Night in Detroit (ironic how the Tigers are one of the safer teams). The gist of which Utah may find itself as one of three or four mid-market teams that remain, and which under Baseball's income distribution rules, don't stand a chance at being competitiive...

@chrisguardiano6143 24 күн бұрын

The NFL is unlikely to ever come to Salt Lake City mainly because of how popular the college game is. Both the Utah Utes & BYU have massive followings in the state & they would be quite upset if the NFL decided to come in & take away fans especially Utah since they play in Salt Lake City at Rice Eccles Stadium. Speaking of Rice Eccles Stadium, it only seats 51,000 which is way below the NFL minimum of 60,000 & I am sure the Utes would not want to pay for an expansion to the stadium just for an NFL team to play there for a few years while their new stadium is being built. There is also no ownership group that is interested in bringing a team to the area. Because of these factors, the NFL (should it decide to expand) will likely look at larger cities like London or Toronto instead of Salt Lake City.
