Keep in mind that the two Power 4 teams in Utah put 115,000 in the seats on a fall Saturday. That’s higher than UCLA and USC combined. People in Utah are sports crazy. With a highly concentrated population.
Me as well! I look forward to videos pertaining to sports business and Brodie's style is perfect. Plus the visuals and breakdowns make the info incredibly easy to digest (a great thing!).
I’ve enjoyed every minute of your Utah coverage! It’s what first brought me to your channel. Now I’ve found myself wanting to come back to watch all the videos you post! I’m a big fan of this channel now!
I don’t even like most of the teams or even sports (baseball) that he covers and yet I always find myself listening to his channel. He is just such a great communicator.
Definitely don’t need to stop with the wasatch front joke, we love it! A large number of us are finding your channel as a result of your coverage. It’s an exciting time for Utah sports. You’re welcome anytime and keep up the great work!!
Your coverage of sports in general is top tier. Then you started covering my home state sports. You have made a lot of forever fans here in Utah. We are all hoping you continue to cover Utah sports in the future.
I know not a lot of people nationally care about what’s going on in Utah, but as a local I’ve enjoyed watching your videos on Utah. Thanks for not totally crapping on Utah like most.
Yes, continue Utah content! Yes, Utah can support three major league teams. Enjoy your show and only recently found it (due to the ‘Yeti’ coming). Not a brewpub owner but would buy you a beer! 🍺
Your Utah content is how I got here! You do great work! And we in Utah are so pumped for this, we are huge sports fans, and we love to take the whole family and fill the seats. Hope to see more from you, and hope you get to come to visit, we have several national parks and state parks that bring people from all over the world, and the best snow on earth! Not a bad place to spend some time!
Come on out! Consider this your official invite. I would be more than happy to give you a tour of where our Olympic venues are, as well as where not only Delta Center is, but our new AAA ballpark is going, and the proposed site of our MLB stadium.
I've enjoyed the coverage. Brodie is informative, entertaining, and upbeat. I wish news channels would take note, this is how to do speculative sports news. Very enjoyable to watch. Hope to see coverage on a not to distant Utah MLB team!
Utah resident. I started watching the channel when news was breaking of the A’s moving to Vegas. Then all the rumblings started happening with the coyotes and Utah getting an nhl and mlb team. So all that ended up being an added bonus for me. I think what people don’t understand about “can we support mlb, nhl, and nba?” There is no doubt in my mind that there would be a lot of fans of all the teams. The problem comes when October/november rolls around. Will Utah and byu football as well as the Jazz and Utah hockey club and real salt lake be able to fill their stadiums when they’re playing on the same weekend? Then you add in mlb to the mix and as much as I’d love to have all the sports teams I don’t see it happening
I think something that makes us able to support so many teams is how easy it is for 2.5 million people to get around. It’s literally a 45 minute drive to downtown for all these people. Other places like the bay have plenty of people but it can be a major pain to get around. Salt lake has really, really fast freeways and a couple different alternatives for driving too. So it’s really easy to catch a game.
Jealous of your light traffic. I live in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) and it's stop and go in and around the whole area from about 8am to 7pm on weekdays, and lighter but no 60 mph all the way on weekends either.
As I watch this video, staring up at the back of the Wasatch range, I'm grateful for the coverage and insight you've brought to my home state. You're the man.
Utah is a natural progression of this channel's content. From the Oakland A's possible move (even though they seem to be fixed to Vegas, who knows) to the Coyotes move to Utah... and other related content, I have enjoyed hearing your thoughts on these subjects. Thank you again for sharing.
I felt like you were anti-Utah, and especially anti-Utah hockey when I first saw you a few months ago. Lately I feel you’ve been very fair and positive. Beer rounds on me! Go Utah!
Keep the SLC coverage coming! Clearly it’s working and personally, I appreciate your perspectives (and dad-level jokes)! Brewpub tour in SLC is guaranteed to pleasantly surprise you…
I'm not surprised your covering Utah more. Salt Lake City has been a viable sports market for a long time, its just insane that its taken the major sports leagues, with exception of the NBA and MLR, this long to realize it. Its just like when the NHL first broke ground in Las Vegas, no one thought about it before, but now everyone wants to go there.
I really appreciate you doing these videos Brody because I live here but don't watch local news so you help keep me up to date and living in the heart of where these teams would Play I'm glad you keep me informed
Brodie, Im glad I found your videos in the last few weeks. I've binged a lot of your videos from the past 6 months. I really enjoy your analysis of events, and you have, if I may, a really pleasing voice to listen to. 1- As a Utah resident, I hope more than anything we get an expansion MLB team rather than poach TB or especially such a storied and historic team from Chicago. What are your opinions on the matter of expansion vs. sale? 2- What would it take for you to be a sports caster for the (Yeti) or the propposed new MLB team? 😂😂
Thank you Brodie! Please keep your great coverage of Utah sports coming! I'm personally not so interested in the NBA. A bit interested in Ice Hockey. But my main interest is baseball -- Bees/Angels and also "Big League Utah". So please keep us up to date on what might be happening with MLB in Utah! I'm also a big Utah Utes college football fan who is very sad over the demise of the PAC 12! And btw, the Utes are also competing for attention with the Jazz and Utah Hockey and Real Salt Lake.
I’m in Sacramento but then when I heard about the coyotes, you were the first video that popped up Utah has a lot going on right now in the sports world and even from over here, I’m excited to find out how it’s gonna go
Ok, let's just be honest. Yes, making content about utah is news worthy, yes it is really nice to have up to date information as well as asking the questions that are relevant to the current situation. All are honorable, justifiable, and needed. Now, getting views and likes pays the bills. So that is ultimately the greater reason for the increased content in Utah sports. And yes, if you're wondering, it will always work, and it will forever. In Utah, we are always looking for information that is up to date and yes entertaining. As long as you're providing it, we will continue to look for you to provide it. Thank you for your insightful videos keep it up.
@Brodie Brazil keep this in mind, the day before the Paris Opening Ceremony, the IOC will award the 2030 and 2034 Winter Olympics. Both of which Salt Lake City is a candidate city for. Mark your calendar for July 25.
Utah should get the chargers too, let's not have another scenario where a city has every sport but missing an nfl team just like Los Angeles from 1995-2015.
Just found you for the first time. You seem to have great quality content, thanks! On a side note Utah has 3 professional teams already now with the Utah NHL team, the Jazz, and Real Salt Lake. The MLB team would make it 4. I would love all 4 teams here, but the question about it being sustainable is a very valid one especially with rising inflation and tighter budgets, but we will see. It is an exciting time though.
I’d be willing to say you were gaining a fair amount of Utah followers now because of your videos. One thing that people that aren’t here dismissed about possibly getting an MLB team also now is Utah loves sports. It doesn’t matter what sport it is. We love playing we love watching.
@BrodieBrazil Might an idea for a future video but would be interesting to do a deep dive on the hype around the WNBA right now with the new expansion teams announced, the Caitlyn Clark effect, changes in how the players can travel, etc.
If you haven't road tripped along Eastern Utah, you're missing out on the National Park tour. Utah has more than just Zion's National Park. You can actually start at Arches National Park east of SLC, through Canyonlands National Park, then through Bryce Canyon National Park and complete at Zions National Park down by St. George. I've been to 45 of the 50 States and there is nothing like it in the world if you are a fan of beautiful scenery.
Lol... "...Wasatch front." It's going to be hot here in salt Lake and very hot in zion, arches, and Bryce. If you visit the state, I'd wait until the early fall.
Glad Bruiser Brodie is producing so many Coyotes / Utah videos on his UA-cam channel. I think it's the most interesting story in sports and he covers it well. Plus, you can tell he's a big hockey '/ Sharks fan, which endears him to Canadians tuning in. Perhaps he has some distant relative(s) who were lived in the Great White North and thus was born with some hockey in his blood....?
Living in Colorado, I'm excited for the sports future of SLC, especially MLB. As a former Sacramento resident, I hope SLC gets an expansion team and Sac keeps the A's. Baseball is an outdoor game and Vegas is just too hot in the summer for MLB. They'll have an NBA team soon and the Golden Knights are very successful and supported, so they're not going to be missing out from a pro sports perspective. I appreciate and enjoy your coverage of all this as well, btw.
I'd be perfectly happy if Utah did NOT get a MLB team. I haven't watched an NBA game over 30 years, so not a Jazz fan. I AM a HUGE hockey fan though, so I couldn't be happier that Utah now has a team!
I don’t have a 5-star hotel or a pub, but I do have a spare bedroom 😂 We’d love to see you here and get some local viewpoints on all of this. Zion (which is pronounced zi-un or zi-uns locally) is about 4 hours south of Salt Lake City btw
I found you because of your Winnipeg coverage. I know you (luckily) aren't going to talk about the Jets too heavily, as the relocation murmurs have been hushed. I stuck around because you cover a variety of sports news/political end. Not just an A''s/Sharks fan show the going-ons of various major leagues.
The question to me is what the corresponding population growth plan is. Is Utah doing what Alberta does and running ads on various media platforms to try and attract people to move to the state? If they're doing that, or they're trying to attract industry, or doing something else to encourage growth, then the odds become a lot better that they can support 3 teams.
Yes, I would like you to keep making videos on Utah sports. I don't know anything about Utah, but because the Coyotes situation [mainly caused by their owner(s), let's be honest] was so...untenable...I was willing to root for anyone who would save those poor NHL players from their fate as Coyotes. Now, your videos are the main ways I learn about the state, the new (?) franchise, and what is going on; your coverage of this has been amazing, and I hope you keep it up, because up here in BC Canada the only other way to hear anything about the Utah Hockey Club is when their NHL team takes the ice, but you provide much more info than that. You're doing good work, and I really feel like the Utah (BliZZard) Hockey Team should put out some feelers into hiring you in some way, shape, or form!
My dream scenario is to have Brodie and Leah Merrall in the SLC providing Yetis (I have to agree with Leah that plural is better) content on the daily.
Predictions: If the A's get a new ballpark built in Vegas, Utah gets the expansion team in the west. If A's don't get the Vegas ballpark built, they''ll stay in Sac (Vivek wants an MLB team there and I think he'll help Fisher out again re. a new MLB ballpark), another Vegas group will enter and get the job done so Vegas gets the expansion team in the west, and Utah will have to look for a future relocation situation.
Brodie- You crack me up. What do I need to do to get you in Salt Lake County? My son has a couple of lower bowl ½ season tickets. Have you checked the price of season tickets for the Utah Hockey Club? SLC already supports 3 Professional Teams- NBA- Jazz / NHL - Hockey Club / MLS- Real. MLB would be a 4th team (Along with the Angels MiLB Bees). We prefer our own over taking another city's team. A lot of us really felt for the NHL fans. But if they are moving anyway either to SLC or elsewhere, then we will accept it. Now that you have Wasatch Front down, do you want to try pronouncing the nearby city of Tooele?
the most popular sports team for the last 50 or so years in Salt Lake City is not a professional team (thou college sports players are now becoming pros) , but professional teams are gaining more popularity all the time...the University of Utah football team is and has been king for decades
My question to you do you think Las Vegas is too small as a market to have 3 or 4 major league teams? That market is a smaller market than Salt Lake and Nevada has fewer people
Also... the A's Relocated to Oakland in the 60's so they where also "poached" as you say. Philadelphia Athletics(1901-1954) then Kansas City Athletics (1954-1967) then to Oakland in 1968. so The A's didn't START here. so if you dislike moving the A's have done it before so just about every team has..
If you’re going to place blame on a relocation, it’s virtually always on the old city or ownership, never the new. Utah didn’t “poach” anything. There was NO WAY Arizona could last three more years (at least) in a 4,000 seat venue, and nowhere else for them to go in greater Phoenix. They were doomed and SEG rescued them.
I think it's because they have deep-pocketed ownership groups, politicians that are willing to help fund new stadiums, and wealthy citizens willing to happily spend money attending major league pro sports.
I’m loving your coverage on Utah, but I’m biased since I live in the Wasatch Front🤷🏼♀️I laugh every time you say FRONT😂 My 15 year old grandson had to leave Utah a few years ago with his family (huge sacrifice) in order to pursue his hockey dreams; so glad they could do this for him. He has had amazing success playing hockey in Chicago and was picked for the Junior Olympics 2024 in Korea where Team USA won GOLD! He has just been drafted by the WHL to play for the MHTigers, so he’s off to Canada in August at the tender age of 15. I’d love to send you his very first press interview that took place last week in MH. Send me your email and I’ll send you his info if your interested in interviewing the first kid from Utah to win Gold in the Olympics. Also we are immigrants to the US so for our family he is first generation American and we are enormously proud of him representing the USA and wearing the jersey. Love your channel!
My Question would be could a Utah sports team find an owner that isn't Ryan Smith as he currently owns all the pro sports teams in Utah including the MLS and NWSL teams
He won't own the MLB team if Utah gets one. Owning the Delta Center, Jazz, and NHL team puts him in a sweet spot. The key will be signing big name players and/or keeping them from moving to bigger cities.
Ryan smith owns the Utah Jazz the Utah hockey club possibly Utah blizzard he owns real salt lake as well I think Utah will get a Major League Baseball team possibly expansion team miller group is part of that someday in the future I can see an nfl football team that will make 5 leagues nba mls mlb nhl nfl that would be nice
You really can’t discount Real Salt Lake, people forget MLS teams pull the same amount if not more in attendance compared to NBA and NHL. RSL is already that second team.
Utah is a place that you don’t understand how amazing it is until you move & settle in here. But please don’t share with your California friends. The nightlife isn’t super amazing but if you can hang with me & my friends on a night out drinking in SLC I’d be impressed.

I think increased coverage of Utah is a sign that you should work in the SLC market.
You’re more on target than most of the local sportscasters. We appreciate your coverage.
not to knock anyone, but i simply appreciate the recognition
Your coverage of Utah sports is what made me discover you and your great content
Same.
Me as well! I look forward to videos pertaining to sports business and Brodie's style is perfect. Plus the visuals and breakdowns make the info incredibly easy to digest (a great thing!).
I’ve enjoyed every minute of your Utah coverage! It’s what first brought me to your channel. Now I’ve found myself wanting to come back to watch all the videos you post! I’m a big fan of this channel now!
As a san francisco native whose lived in utah since 2019, this is the best of both worlds! Brodie is easily one of the best analysts out there.
I don’t even like most of the teams or even sports (baseball) that he covers and yet I always find myself listening to his channel. He is just such a great communicator.
Definitely don’t need to stop with the wasatch front joke, we love it! A large number of us are finding your channel as a result of your coverage. It’s an exciting time for Utah sports. You’re welcome anytime and keep up the great work!!
Utah loves you, Brody. Keep up the great work.

As a bay area transplant that bleeds teal living in SLC now - absolutely love that you've been covering this!
I’ve enjoyed all the Utah coverage. But I’ve also enjoyed your A’s coverage for years.
I love your UTAH coverage. And I love your Wasatch jokes. Big fan of you working in SLC
This dude is a class act. Covering all the recent developments 👍
Come on out! Consider this your official invite. I would be more than happy to give you a tour of where our Olympic venues are, as well as where not only Delta Center is, but our new AAA ballpark is going, and the proposed site of our MLB stadium.

$1.8 billion for attracting pro sports teams, when many states and cities are rejecting similar subsidies, is quite a big deal
Brodie is the goat ❤
As a Utahn, I love your coverage. I'll take you to a good brewery if you come 🍻
As I watch this video, staring up at the back of the Wasatch range, I'm grateful for the coverage and insight you've brought to my home state. You're the man.

Great job on Wasatch, now let’s see you pronounce Hurricane, Tooele, and Mantua! 😂
I felt like you were anti-Utah, and especially anti-Utah hockey when I first saw you a few months ago.
Lately I feel you’ve been very fair and positive.
Beer rounds on me! Go Utah!
Great video! Love your content and style. Keep up the coverage!
The Utah Jazz first played in the Salt Palace back in the early 1970's with the Salt Lake Golden Eagles hockey club.
Keep the SLC coverage coming! Clearly it’s working and personally, I appreciate your perspectives (and dad-level jokes)! Brewpub tour in SLC is guaranteed to pleasantly surprise you…
I'm not surprised your covering Utah more. Salt Lake City has been a viable sports market for a long time, its just insane that its taken the major sports leagues, with exception of the NBA and MLR, this long to realize it. Its just like when the NHL first broke ground in Las Vegas, no one thought about it before, but now everyone wants to go there.
I love watching MLR games!
I really appreciate you doing these videos Brody because I live here but don't watch local news so you help keep me up to date and living in the heart of where these teams would Play I'm glad you keep me informed
You can fill 2 college stadiums that are within 40 miles of each other. That equal over a 100000 people. 65000 in BYU. And around 50000 for the utes
Brodie, Im glad I found your videos in the last few weeks. I've binged a lot of your videos from the past 6 months. I really enjoy your analysis of events, and you have, if I may, a really pleasing voice to listen to.
1- As a Utah resident, I hope more than anything we get an expansion MLB team rather than poach TB or especially such a storied and historic team from Chicago. What are your opinions on the matter of expansion vs. sale?
2- What would it take for you to be a sports caster for the (Yeti) or the propposed new MLB team? 😂😂
We'd be glad to welcome you to a visit to Utah. In my opinion the best month to visit is May, second best is June.
Thank you Brodie! Please keep your great coverage of Utah sports coming! I'm personally not so interested in the NBA. A bit interested in Ice Hockey. But my main interest is baseball -- Bees/Angels and also "Big League Utah". So please keep us up to date on what might be happening with MLB in Utah! I'm also a big Utah Utes college football fan who is very sad over the demise of the PAC 12! And btw, the Utes are also competing for attention with the Jazz and Utah Hockey and Real Salt Lake.
I think there’s just an appeal to new stuff in sports. I hope you consider covering new stadium projects which fit along these lines
I’m in Sacramento but then when I heard about the coyotes, you were the first video that popped up Utah has a lot going on right now in the sports world and even from over here, I’m excited to find out how it’s gonna go

You've mastered the Wasatch pronunciation... here's another. As for Zion National Park, it's not "Zy-on"... instead it rhymes with lion.
learned something new!! thanks for the correction
Thanks for the coverage! Love your videos!
@Brodie Brazil keep this in mind, the day before the Paris Opening Ceremony, the IOC will award the 2030 and 2034 Winter Olympics. Both of which Salt Lake City is a candidate city for. Mark your calendar for July 25.
Time to cover University of Utah football and basketball. You can ignore the dreck down in provo.
Utah should get the chargers too, let's not have another scenario where a city has every sport but missing an nfl team just like Los Angeles from 1995-2015.
I don’t see NFL going there. Most people wouldn’t go to a Sunday game.
Just found you for the first time. You seem to have great quality content, thanks! On a side note Utah has 3 professional teams already now with the Utah NHL team, the Jazz, and Real Salt Lake. The MLB team would make it 4. I would love all 4 teams here, but the question about it being sustainable is a very valid one especially with rising inflation and tighter budgets, but we will see. It is an exciting time though.
SLC during xmas time is magical
I’d be willing to say you were gaining a fair amount of Utah followers now because of your videos. One thing that people that aren’t here dismissed about possibly getting an MLB team also now is Utah loves sports. It doesn’t matter what sport it is. We love playing we love watching.

I've been to 45 of the 50 States and there is nothing like it in the world if you are a fan of beautiful scenery.
Zion’s National Park? Who is Zion?
Same. Always hungry for quality hockey content.
Nevada is approx. the same population wise. Give or take. They will soon have three bigs.
Love you Brodie, Johnny Utah.
Lol... "...Wasatch front." It's going to be hot here in salt Lake and very hot in zion, arches, and Bryce. If you visit the state, I'd wait until the early fall.

I appreciate and enjoy your coverage of all this as well, btw.
I think Vegas also gets an NBA team along with Seattle when the league expands from 30 to 32 teams.
I'd be perfectly happy if Utah did NOT get a MLB team. I haven't watched an NBA game over 30 years, so not a Jazz fan. I AM a HUGE hockey fan though, so I couldn't be happier that Utah now has a team!
Hi Brodie! All i do on my UA-cam channel is help people move here to my home state. Thank you for the awesome content and keep it up!
Utah is full. We don’t want anymore people moving here.
@@ExaltedSeahawksFan I've decided to move to Provo just because of that statement.
I don’t have a 5-star hotel or a pub, but I do have a spare bedroom 😂
We’d love to see you here and get some local viewpoints on all of this.
Zion (which is pronounced zi-un or zi-uns locally) is about 4 hours south of Salt Lake City btw
I found you because of your Winnipeg coverage. I know you (luckily) aren't going to talk about the Jets too heavily, as the relocation murmurs have been hushed. I stuck around because you cover a variety of sports news/political end. Not just an A''s/Sharks fan show the going-ons of various major leagues.
The question to me is what the corresponding population growth plan is. Is Utah doing what Alberta does and running ads on various media platforms to try and attract people to move to the state? If they're doing that, or they're trying to attract industry, or doing something else to encourage growth, then the odds become a lot better that they can support 3 teams.
Yes, I would like you to keep making videos on Utah sports. I don't know anything about Utah, but because the Coyotes situation [mainly caused by their owner(s), let's be honest] was so...untenable...I was willing to root for anyone who would save those poor NHL players from their fate as Coyotes. Now, your videos are the main ways I learn about the state, the new (?) franchise, and what is going on; your coverage of this has been amazing, and I hope you keep it up, because up here in BC Canada the only other way to hear anything about the Utah Hockey Club is when their NHL team takes the ice, but you provide much more info than that. You're doing good work, and I really feel like the Utah (BliZZard) Hockey Team should put out some feelers into hiring you in some way, shape, or form!
Thanks!
Thank YOU!
Great content!!
My dream scenario is to have Brodie and Leah Merrall in the SLC providing Yetis (I have to agree with Leah that plural is better) content on the daily.
Predictions: If the A's get a new ballpark built in Vegas, Utah gets the expansion team in the west. If A's don't get the Vegas ballpark built, they''ll stay in Sac (Vivek wants an MLB team there and I think he'll help Fisher out again re. a new MLB ballpark), another Vegas group will enter and get the job done so Vegas gets the expansion team in the west, and Utah will have to look for a future relocation situation.
I love the Utah content! Lived here my whole life pretty much! Now in St George! Come visit Zions!! ❤
Iv gone to Zions the last few weeks! It's mind-blowing even the 30th or so time!!
@@CryptoNick03Zions? Why do you call it that?
It’s ZHAY - un, not ZHAY - AHN!!! Oh, and you’re formally invited to Logan, Utah 😁
they also have the ECHL utah grizzlies there too
Sorry Brodie. This is not Denver 2.0.
Salt Lake City is actually everything Denver says they are.
Will you cover the construction of the Oakland roots new stadium if approved and opening
Like I say on my channel “it’s my show my rules” you don’t need to explain yourself it’s your channel so do whatever you want to do with it
I think if the A’s deal in Vegas falls through SLC would be waiting in the wings to pounce on bringing the A’s to SLC
The new Johnny Utah
Brodie- You crack me up. What do I need to do to get you in Salt Lake County? My son has a couple of lower bowl ½ season tickets. Have you checked the price of season tickets for the Utah Hockey Club? SLC already supports 3 Professional Teams- NBA- Jazz / NHL - Hockey Club / MLS- Real. MLB would be a 4th team (Along with the Angels MiLB Bees). We prefer our own over taking another city's team. A lot of us really felt for the NHL fans. But if they are moving anyway either to SLC or elsewhere, then we will accept it.
Now that you have Wasatch Front down, do you want to try pronouncing the nearby city of Tooele?
the most popular sports team for the last 50 or so years in Salt Lake City is not a professional team (thou college sports players are now becoming pros) , but professional teams are gaining more popularity all the time...the University of Utah football team is and has been king for decades
Cuz you’re the BROseph Smith 🤜🤛
I live in tampa i watch you for general sports stuff started bc i rhink you covered the yotes move the best
My question to you do you think Las Vegas is too small as a market to have 3 or 4 major league teams? That market is a smaller market than Salt Lake and Nevada has fewer people
Also... the A's Relocated to Oakland in the 60's so they where also "poached" as you say. Philadelphia Athletics(1901-1954) then Kansas City Athletics (1954-1967) then to Oakland in 1968. so The A's didn't START here. so if you dislike moving the A's have done it before so just about every team has..
If you’re going to place blame on a relocation, it’s virtually always on the old city or ownership, never the new. Utah didn’t “poach” anything. There was NO WAY Arizona could last three more years (at least) in a 4,000 seat venue, and nowhere else for them to go in greater Phoenix. They were doomed and SEG rescued them.
Agree. Bettman played it perfectly. Arizona team to Utah, Murello gets $1B for selling the team and 5 years to build a stadium for Coyotes 2.0.
Sometimes in life nothing makes sense, and why a state with only 3.5 million people can attract so much sports attention is mind-boggling!?
We love sports man it’s crazy
I think it's because they have deep-pocketed ownership groups, politicians that are willing to help fund new stadiums, and wealthy citizens willing to happily spend money attending major league pro sports.
I’m loving your coverage on Utah, but I’m biased since I live in the Wasatch Front🤷🏼♀️I laugh every time you say FRONT😂
My 15 year old grandson had to leave Utah a few years ago with his family (huge sacrifice) in order to pursue his hockey dreams; so glad they could do this for him.
He has had amazing success playing hockey in Chicago and was picked for the Junior Olympics 2024 in Korea where Team USA won GOLD!
He has just been drafted by the WHL to play for the MHTigers, so he’s off to Canada in August at the tender age of 15.
I’d love to send you his very first press interview that took place last week in MH.
Send me your email and I’ll send you his info if your interested in interviewing the first kid from Utah to win Gold in the Olympics.
Also we are immigrants to the US so for our family he is first generation American and we are enormously proud of him representing the USA and wearing the jersey.
Love your channel!
My Question would be could a Utah sports team find an owner that isn't Ryan Smith as he currently owns all the pro sports teams in Utah including the MLS and NWSL teams
He won't own the MLB team if Utah gets one. Owning the Delta Center, Jazz, and NHL team puts him in a sweet spot. The key will be signing big name players and/or keeping them from moving to bigger cities.
Sometimes the snow in Utah is lily white, one could say even sego lily white (see what I just did there Utahns...?).
SEG should offer you a job
Another question I've had is do your videos centered on Utah get more views, likes, and subscriptions than your videos on other topics?
When will they get their affiliation teams especially in the echl??
Tucson Roadrunners are their minor league affiliate. Came with the Coyotes even though Meruelo still owns that team.
Ryan smith owns the Utah Jazz the Utah hockey club possibly Utah blizzard he owns real salt lake as well I think Utah will get a Major League Baseball team possibly expansion team miller group is part of that someday in the future I can see an nfl football team that will make 5 leagues nba mls mlb nhl nfl that would be nice
You really can’t discount Real Salt Lake, people forget MLS teams pull the same amount if not more in attendance compared to NBA and NHL. RSL is already that second team.
Utaha
Don't forget RSL MLS soccer
Utah White Sox? Utah Marlins? Utah Angels? Utah A's who knows....lol
If the A's get a new ballpark built in Vegas, I think Utah gets the MLB expansion team in the west.
Let’s go ballers
Utah is a place that you don’t understand how amazing it is until you move & settle in here. But please don’t share with your California friends. The nightlife isn’t super amazing but if you can hang with me & my friends on a night out drinking in SLC I’d be impressed.
Last thing Utah needs is more Californians.
In thinking that the lack of SLC nightlife is a major reason why NBA players don't stay with the jazz.
@@davidbenkert1062 you are correct
Secretly you want the A’s to move to Utah ..admit it .. Las Vegas wants that too
Utah is shakin
Like any good reporter go where the content is
Relocate to Utah
