History

• Construction began on October 4, 1991 and concluded just over one year later with the stadium officially opening on October 4, 1991.

• The stadium hosted both the figure skating and speed skating events from the 2002 Winter Olympic Games.

• The naming rights deal with Delta Airlines expired on September 30, 2006, leaving the door open for Vivint to workout a deal with the Utah Jazz and stadium management for a new naming rights deal.

• On August 11, 1999 the roof of the stadium was severely damaged due to a tornado in the area. The cost of repairs totaled $3.75 million.
