Rendering of Delta Center set up for Utah Jazz game
In the summer of 2025, Smith Entertainment Group (SEG) began a multi-year transformation of the Delta Center to accommodate the addition of the NHL’s newest franchise, the Utah Mammoth, while enhancing the fan experience for Utah Jazz games as well as concerts and other events.
During the first phase of renovations, SEG installed a one-of-a-kind riser seating system, custom designed for Delta Center, which improved sightlines and added capacity for Mammoth games in the lower-bowl. SEG also lengthened the bowl by 12 feet at each end and raised the floor two feet to accommodate a new ice floor slab. Phase one resulted in full, unobstructed views for every lower-bowl seat and the addition of 1,100 new seats for Mammoth games among other enhancements to the fan experience in the second season of NHL hockey in Utah.

During the 2026 and 2027 off-seasons, renovations at the Delta Center will focus on rebuilding the upper seating in the north and south end zones. SEG is adding new terrace-style ledges with full-view seating to the upper-north side, in addition to suspended gondolas on both sidelines that will provide a new birds-eye view of the event floor for over 200 fans. In 2027, the final phase of the Delta Center’s transformation will focus on the south end zone, with every seat in the arena ensuring full sightlines for both basketball and hockey.
