SALT LAKE CITY – The Utah Jazz announced Tuesday that they plan to move the team’s practice facility to The Shops At South Town.
The Shops at South Town also host the Utah Mammoth practice facility which opened in September ahead of the NHL season.
The Jazz practice facility will sit adjacent to the 146,000 square foot Mammoth facility in Sandy.

“We’re building an amazing sports campus here with the Jazz practice facility connected to the Utah Mammoth practice facility, including the opportunity for the teams to cross-collaborate and support each others’ development,” Ryan and Ashley Smith, of Smith Entertainment Group (SEG) said. “By also incorporating our business offices, this campus will promote efficiency, innovation, and collaboration, continuing to focus on bringing the best experiences to our fans.”
According to a release from the team, the new facility will include two basketball courts, a team locker room, state-of-the-art workout and training spaces, a performance kitchen, and amenities designed to foster player development and team connectivity.

This will be a state-of-the-art facility and a tremendous environment where our players and coaches can work, train, and develop.”
