Why Salt Lake is a different sort of soccer city

There will be at least 91 games played by professional soccer teams in Utah throughout 2019.

As of August 22, there have been 351,627 tickets sold to professional soccer matches in Utah in 2018 alone. There are two development academies, one men’s and one women’s that play in Utah and Arizona that feed into Utah teams.

Salt Lake has the fans, they have the academies, they have the teams. Salt Lake is a soccer city.

That’s a statement that is going to get a lot of hate from a lot of people, but if you look at it, aren’t we just as much of a soccer city as the big city teams?
