“Soon it was commonplace for entire teams to change cities in search of greater profits. The Minneapolis Lakers moved to Los Angeles where there are no lakes. The Oilers moved to Tennessee where there is no oil. The Jazz moved to Salt Lake City where they don’t allow music.”
-BASEketball [1998]
Little brings Salt Lake City together like good food and the Utah Jazz. The Jazz understand local love, and you can see it in the food at the Delta Center. The Delta Center (formally Vivint Arena – but real ones never stopped calling it the Delta Center) was completely revamped during the 2017 off-season, and the food options at the Delta Center got revamped as well. When you eat at the arena, you aren’t limited to basic hot dogs and popcorn. The Delta Center features food options from local restaurants around Salt Lake City, and the in-arena food options have never been better. Whether you want pizza, barbecue, burgers, Mexican, or even Korean, you’ll find it in the Delta Center.
While the food at the Delta Center is top notch stadium food, the arena is also centrally located in Downtown Salt Lake City, and there are many excellent restaurants and bars near the Delta Center that deserve your attention as well. Tell us your favorite food options for Jazz games in the comments below, and as always, GO JAZZ!
NOTE: As of 2019, the Delta Center is a CASHLESS arena. Be sure to bring a card for food and drinks. There are several kiosks in the arena to convert your cash to a MasterCard debit card for no charge.
