Utah planning to Jazz up arena
The Utah Jazz are planning significant renovations to their home court, Vivint SmartHome Arena, and the cost could exceed $100 million, according to Tony Jones and Aaron Falk of the Salt Lake Tribune.
"We feel like we're going to do something in a significant way to make the building feel new again, and return it to first-class status within the NBA," Jazz president Steve Starks said.

Completed in 1991, the arena will be the sixth-oldest in the NBA next season. The owners of the team and the facility, The Larry H. Miller Group, studied the possibility of a new arena but decided on a retrofit, according to the Tribune. A timeline is not yet known.
The building was previously known as EnergySolutions Arena and the Delta Center. It hosted back-to-back NBA Finals in 1997 and 1998, as well as the 1993 All-Star Game.
