The venue will have approximately 6,000 seats, and it is planned to host 200 events annually, with 100 concerts each year. This will be Live Nation's only purpose-built, large indoor venue in the Salt Lake City area.

“Our goal has always been to bring enormous opportunities to downtown. Once the transformation of Delta Center was underway, partnering with Live Nation on what a world-class concert venue could look like in downtown became a top priority,” Ryan Smith, chairman and CEO of Smith Entertainment Group, said in a press release.

SALT LAKE CITY — On Tuesday, Utah Jazz owner Ryan Smith and the Smith Entertainment Group announced plans to build a new indoor music venue in downtown Salt Lake City. As a part of the new Sports, Entertainment, Culture, and Convention Center District, the venue will be built in-between the existing Delta Center and Salt Palace Convention Center.
