Vivint renovation trying to realize Larry H. Miller's dream

SALT LAKE CITY — Delta Center. EnergySolutions Arena. Vivint Smart Home Arena.

No matter which moniker fans best remember it by, the home of the Utah Jazz is the manifestation of a dream attained by the late Larry H. Miller back in the early 1990s that may now be, with a $125 million renovation nearing completion, even closer to the beacon of the community he envisioned for the venue almost 30 years ago.

On a Thursday media tour of the arena, Utah Jazz President Steve Starks pointed out that new lights being installed in the undercarriage of the upper bowl would add to the glow, as viewed from the outside, of the glass-encased venue — a characteristic that Miller was seeking when the building was completed in 1991.
