And the winner is...



The NBA's Utah Jazz no longer play in the Delta Center. For 15 years the 'Delta Center' has been synonymous with Utah Jazz basketball and major events in Salt Lake City. With Delta's recent bankruptcy filing they no longer have the millions of dollars a year to sponsor a major arena. So, in steps Energy Solutions of Salt Lake City. They are the new sponsor and the new name is... drum roll please... "Energy Solutions Arena". A big difference. It will be very hard for us locals to change to the new name.
The funny thing about this whole change is what this company actually does. Delta is an airline. Everyone knows Delta. Energy Solutions buries nuclear waste in the Utah desert. They clean up toxic waste. WTF? Larry H. Miller may have several very successful businesses but sometimes he makes some wacky decisions. This is one of them. I would think he would know that you would never ever want to associate your most recognizable brand name with a company that disposes of toxic nuclear waste. Ever.
