A $125 million renovation has certainly upgraded the cosmetics of Vivint Smart Home Arena, but what about the much-maligned acoustics?
Well, at Wednesday night’s Tim McGraw and Faith Hill “Soul2Soul” concert, the venue’s first big show since it reopened, it would be fair to note that undergoing a face-lift or liposuction won’t result in you suddenly having the voice of an angel.
Whether it was known the Delta Center, EnergySolutions Arena, or Vivint, the venue has never been known for pristine sound quality, with late Utah Jazz owner Larry H. Miller said to have ordered the deliberate absence of any kind of concert-specific acoustic paneling in order to accentuate the fevered delirium of home basketball crowds.
