History

Historical Context

The Utah Jazz’s 2006 Delta Center overhaul, which displaced the team, reflects a broader pattern of costly arena upgrades. In 2014 Charlotte approved $34 million for Hornets renovations and in 2015 San Antonio authorized $101.5 million for AT&T Center upgrades, both prompting temporary relocations and schedule adjustments for their franchises across the league, impacting revenue.
