SALT LAKE CITY - Nestled in Salt Lake City’s downtown grid structure, tucked between the Wasatch mountain range on one horizon and the Oquirrh on the other, resides one of the NBA’s best kept secrets: Vivint Smart Home Arena. Over 4,000 feet above sea level roars one of the greatest, and loudest, home court advantages.
“Nobody talks about Utah,” said Doc Rivers. “Utah is a hard place to play.”
Surrounding the Larry H. Miller court, named after the late Jazz owner, sits 19,111 seats. In those seats each home game are some of the most voracious fans in the league.
