The home of the Utah Jazz is also home to an alarming number of health-code violations in the concessions stands, according to an ESPN analysis of sports stadiums across North America.
Vendors at Vivint Smart Home Arena in downtown Salt Lake City were cited for 72 health-code violations in 2016 and 2017, and 54 of those — or 75 percent — were high-level violations, according to an analysis reported Thursday on ESPN’s “Outside the Lines.”
That percentage put The Viv at 100th out of 107 sports venues whose health records were analyzed for the network, and fifth-worst among National Basketball Association arenas, according to ESPN’s analysis.
