NBA Basketball Arena Review
- EnergySolutions Arena
 The natural and serene beauty of Salt Lake City is the backdrop
for EnergySolutions Arena, which is home to the Utah Jazz. Since
the building opened in 1991, the Jazz have seen many great
players come through the doors of the arena, but unfortunately
have not been able to bring home any NBA Championships within
the past 19 years. The franchise is, however, beginning to
return to prominence in the NBA's Western Conference, and it
appears as though players like Deron Williams and Al Jefferson
will lead them to success in the very near future. One
of the many charming aspects of EnergySolutions Arena is the
massive lower bowl of seating, which is able to hold a good
majority of the 20,000-seat capacity arena. With a beautiful LED
scoreboard hanging over the court, scores and video can be seen
very clearly, and the entire arena is able to keep up with the
various aspects of the game. They also have the slim LED boards
located just above the lower bowl to keep fans up-to-date on
what is going on out of town.
Getting to the
EnergySolutions Arena is pretty easy when you consider that it
is just off I-15, which is a major interstate highway that runs
right alongside of the building. With the arena being located at
the corner of 300 West, otherwise known as John Stockton Drive,
and South Temple, this provides easy access from any of the four
directions when you are trying to see a Utah Jazz game. If you
need the use of public transportation, TRAX is available to take
you to and from all events. You can take TRAX right to the Arena
station on South Temple, which will put your right across the
street from one of the NBA's finest arenas.
Standard
American fare can be found throughout EnergySolutions Arena,
with Pizza Hut and a couple of other big name chains making
sparse appearances here and there throughout the concourse. On
the lower concourse, which also offers a team store as well as
some interesting memorabilia from the Jazz's history, you will
find a food court with the ability to put together fresh deli
meats to make yourself a sub sandwich. The upper concourse
features more concession stands serving traditional arena
favorites that you can find at a good price compared to other
buildings' prices in the NBA.
One local restaurant that
you must try before you leave Salt Lake City is Copper Canyon
Grille House & Tavern. It is here where you will find a
succulent burger and ice-cold beer that only accentuates your
experience of traveling to Salt Lake City. Copper Canyon has
many different varieties of alcohol to choose from, and its
expansive menu is sure to have something for every type of
taste. If you are looking for a more low-key dining experience
that serves upscale food in a beautiful setting, look no further
than Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar. Fleming's provides a
laundry list of available wines to choose from with many
different variants available. They also have some of the best
cuts of beef in the Salt Lake City area, which gives you all the
more reason to visit Fleming's the next time you are in town for
a Jazz game.
After the game is over, your pulse will
still be pounding from all of the NBA excitement that you just
got through witnessing. To burn off that extra energy, check out
the burgeoning nightlife of Salt Lake City. If you are into live
music, dancing, and socializing with some Salt Lake City locals,
you might want to visit Lumpys. This location is situated about
15 minutes south of downtown at the corner of South and Highland
Drive. It has a great neighborhood bar atmosphere that you are
sure to enjoy, and it will provide many hours of entertainment
for only a few dollars. If you are looking for more a sports bar
experience, try The Huddle located in the Salt Lake Valley. With
over 24 televisions, you can keep up with all of the action that
is happening that night while enjoying your favorite beverages
from a well-stocked bar.
Temple Square is just one of the
many points of interest that the town of Salt Lake City offers.
It is a 10-acre block of land located in downtown Salt Lake City
that features two visitor centers along with free tours that go
off every 45 minutes. Several monuments and statues can be found
here as well, so you don't have to go far to witness the culture
of Salt Lake City. You might also want to visit Olympic Cauldron
Park, which gives a great overview of the 2002 Olympics that
were held in Salt Lake City. With the cauldron itself on
location, Olympic Cauldron Park is a testament to a time where
the city was the center of the world.
Taking in a Utah
Jazz basketball game is a great experience, especially since you
get to sit in one of the plushest arenas in the entire NBA.
EnergySolutions Arena has been one of the league's most renowned
arenas for the past two decades, and it will continue to be a
standard bearer for newer buildings that open up around the NBA.
