SALT LAKE CITY — I can’t begin to tell you how many sporting events I’ve been fortunate to attend and cover as a sports writer for the Deseret News for the past 26 years.
Olympic hockey. NBA Finals. All-Star Games. BYU-Utah rivalry games. High school championships. Mitt Romney’s boxing debut. A bubble gum blowing contest. A powerlifting meet featuring a great grandma in her 90s.
Not to mention hundreds and hundreds of Utah Jazz games from Toronto to Miami to Honolulu to Detroit and back to all three different names of the Delta Center/EnergySolutions Arena/Vivint Smart Home Arena.
