Delta Center is located just west of downtown Salt Lake City, approximately 15 minutes from the Salt Lake City International Airport, just two blocks from the Salt Palace Convention Center, and within walking distance from hotels, restaurants, and Temple Square.

Construction of the arena began on June 11, 1990, and was completed in record time – 15 months and 24 days later, at a cost of $66 million and a footprint of 3.79 acres. The arena was initially made with three million pounds of structural steel and 7.6 million pounds of rebar, while surrounded by 80,300 square feet of glass.

While no events were held in Summer 2017, Delta Center underwent a $125 million renovation to enhance the guest experience on all six levels. More than 2,000 workers participated in the renovation project, demolishing concrete walls, removing all the green plastic chairs, and building new dining, club, and social spaces. Salt Lake City-based Okland Construction served as the general contractor for the project with support from 78 subcontractors.

An illuminated black Jazz Note statue, measuring 14 feet high and 21 feet wide, welcomes visitors on the plaza before they enter the 12,000-square-foot America First Atrium with an exclusive Utah Jazz Team Store. The state-of-the-art arena features six upgraded seating levels and notable features such as energy-generating solar panels on the roof, revamped locker rooms on the ground floor, upgraded LED technology on the videoboards, a premium seating area in the upper bowl, and an expanded selection of food options, including many premier local-favorite dining destinations.
