Best Seats At the Delta Center

Delta Center is in the middle of something genuinely unique. Starting April 2025, they’re installing a revolutionary retractable seating system—the first-and-only one in any dual-sport arena. The system accommodates a nearly 12-foot variance in elevation between rink and court endlines to offer optimal sightlines for both NBA and NHL.

Here’s what matters for you: Every seat in the lower bowl will have a complete view of the ice at the start of the 2025-26 season, eliminating obstructed-view seats. When renovations are complete, hockey capacity increases to approximately 17,000 and Jazz capacity to nearly 19,000.

The catch? Construction continues through October 2027, but Phase 1 is mostly done for the 2025 through 26 season. You’ll notice some ongoing work, but the major seating improvements are already in place.


Jazz Games

Best Seats: Lower Bowl Sideline, Section (6 to 8 and 17-19): These are your primo seats. You’re along the sideline, center court, with unobstructed views of the entire floor. The retractable riser system keeps the steep slope that makes Delta Center famous for atmosphere—you’re still incredibly close to the action, just repositioned slightly by the new 12-foot-extended baseline seating.

The steepness of the new lower bowl means there’s significantly more leg room, especially behind the baskets where previously unusable space is now active seating.

What to expect: The best angles on plays, clear view of bench interactions, and genuinely close proximity to the court. Front rows (1-5) put you right on the sideline. Rows 10-18 maintain the view while giving you slightly more personal space.

Real talk: Jazz tickets on the secondary market range from $49 get-in price for Lakers games to $727 for premium seats. Weeknight games against non-marquee opponents run significantly cheaper. Jazz season ticket prices saw increases of 3-6% for most fans, which affects secondary pricing.

Tradeoff: Center sideline pricing is higher. If budget matters, corners (3-4, 9-11, 14-16, 20-22) deliver solid views at better prices.


Best Value: Lower Bowl Corner Sections (3 and 4, 9 to 11, 14 to 16, 20 to 22): Corner seats offer legitimate floor views without the center-court premium. You see the entire court, the corners give you unique angles on off-ball action, and the atmosphere is still electric.

The newly extended baseline seating doesn’t compromise corner sightlines—if anything, the elevated floor improves angles from the corners.

Real value: These run 20-30% cheaper than center sideline while still being in the thick of it. Tickets for non-marquee games can start as low as $1-5 on resale markets, though that’s rare. Realistic budget: $15-45 for regular season games.

Tradeoff: You’re slightly removed from the sideline/bench energy, but honestly, the view is excellent and the savings are real.


Upper Bowl (Sections 101 through 140): Upper bowl seating hasn’t dramatically changed from the baseline renovation—the elevated playing surface provides some improvement, but upper bowl views remain similar to previous seasons. Future renovations will address this in 2026-27 and 2027-28 offseasons.

Central upper sections (around 120-125 on sidelines) are your safest bet. You get full court view and decent proximity despite the height.

Budget play: Upper bowl season ticket prices remained unchanged for the 2025-26 season, meaning resale prices on upper bowl tickets tend to be more stable and affordable. Realistic range: $10-40 depending on opponent.

Tradeoff: You’re removed from the action, but if you’re watching basketball and just want the experience, upper bowl works fine.


Utah Mammoth Hockey Seating

Best Seats: LOWER BOWL CENTER ICE (SECTIONS 6-8, 17-19): This is where the renovation really pays off. Every seat in the lower bowl now has a complete, unobstructed view of the ice. This is genuinely revolutionary—most NHL arenas have significant obstructed-view sections, especially for hockey.

Center-ice positioning gives you the best angle on plays, line changes, and the flow of the game. The steep slope maintained for basketball means you’re still close to the action even in the upper rows.

What to expect: Clear sightlines of both ends of the ice, ability to track the puck easily, and the feeling of actually being part of the game rather than watching from a distance.

Ticket talk: Mammoth offer value ticket packages for just $15 with a Smith’s Rewards Card, including a single-goal view seat, hot dog, and water. On resale, tickets start from $23 depending on opponent and date. Average pricing likely runs $40-120 for regular season, significantly cheaper than NHL averages because Mammoth are new and still building fanbase. Keep in mind, these can change due to numerous factors. Think of this as ballpark

Tradeoff: Best ice-view seats still command premium pricing, but it’s significantly less than you’d pay at original-six or established NHL markets.


Best Value: LOWER BOWL ATTACK ZONE (SECTIONS 1-5, 12-16): Attack zone seating gives you focused views of offensive play and the goal. You’ll see scoring chances develop up close, penalty shots from excellent angles, and the energy of the bench area during momentum shifts.

The newly added lower bowl capacity includes seats behind the goals—formerly obstructed zones. These new seats actually have excellent sightlines now and are priced aggressively to fill them.

Real value: These sections represent the best value in the lower bowl. You get genuine hockey experience, clear views, and significantly better pricing than center-ice. Expect $25-60 depending on opponent.

Tradeoff: You’re not seeing the full ice at once—you’re focused on one end. But for the actual game action and atmosphere, this is genuinely solid.


Upper Bowl (SECTIONS 201-240): Similar to bball, Upper bowl hockey seating is still adjusting post-renovation. Upper bowl sightlines haven’t changed dramatically yet, with plans to tackle upper bowl improvements over the next two offseasons.

That said, upper bowl seats still offer full, unobstructed views of the ice. You’re just farther away than lower bowl, and some angle nuances are lost.

Budget play: Upper bowl is genuinely affordable for Mammoth games. Value packages exist, and tickets routinely appear on resale in the $20-50 range.

Tradeoff: Distance from the ice, less atmospheric intensity. But if you want to experience Utah Mammoth hockey without premium pricing, upper bowl works.

Parking At Delta Center

The Delta Center offers over 5,500 convenient parking spaces in surrounding surface lots and attached parking garages, with options ranging from $15 event parking rates in the lots to $25 event rates in the connected garages that provide direct indoor access to the arena.

  • There are over 5,500 parking spots in parking lots surrounding the Delta Center. The main lots are Lot A, Lot B, Lot C, and Lot D.
  • These lots are within a 5-10 minute walk of arena entrances. Lots B, C and D offer event parking rates ranging from $15-$20 per vehicle.

Parking Garages

  • Two parking garages are connected to the arena – the Gateway East Garage and Gateway West Garage.
  • The garages offer event parking rates, typically $25 per vehicle. The garages provide closest access into the Delta Center

City Creek Center Parking

  • City Creek Center, the shopping mall attached to the Delta Center, offers parking rates in their garages. Rates are around $2 for the first 2 hours, then $2 per hour after that.
  • So if attending a shorter event, you may be able park economically here. Access involves a short outdoor walk to arena entrances.

Nearby Lots & Street Parking

  • There are various small private & public parking lots in the blocks surrounding Vivint Arena. Rates can be hit or miss in terms of value.
  • Street parking is also available nearby, though much of it becomes metered or time restricted specifically for arena events. Check signs closely.

I’d recommend the parking garages for easiest access, but they come at a premium cost. Arrive early if you want to get one of the closer surface lots. Prepaying and taking light rail are other options to consider for convenience.

Public Transportation To The Delta Center

Besides driving yourself and parking onsite, The Delta Center stays easily accessible through TRAX light rail trains, multiple UTA bus routes, and the FrontRunner commuter rail, all converging downtown with stops located only short blocks or a TRAX station away from arena entrances.

TRAX Light Rail

  • The Delta Center has its own stop at the “Arena” station on the Green Line. This line connects directly from Salt Lake International Airport.
  • The S-Line Streetcar and the Red, Blue lines also meet the Green line downtown making multiple transfer options available. Fares ranging $1.50-$2.50 one-way.
  • Check the link for Trax Light Rail Schedules.

UTA Bus Routes

  • Several key bus routes stop adjacent to the arena: Routes 200, 205, 220, and 513 all stop near 300 W & S Temple Street.
  • One-way local bus fares are $1.50-$2.50 depending on route. Day, month and annual passes are available.
  • You can find Bus Schedules and Routes Here.

FrontRunner

  • FrontRunner is UTA’s commuter rail providing service from Ogden to Provo. Trains arrive at Union station 3.5 blocks from Vivint Arena.
  • Connecting with above TRAX lines is possible alongside bus routes there.

Tips

  • Check schedules ahead for best transit connections
  • Purchase fares via app, at stations or using Farepay card
  • Parking lots at stations available for further destinations

In summary – the Green Line TRAX offers the most direct light rail route with enhanced service for events. Multiple bus routes stop on the block of the arena. Connections from FrontRunner trains are also feasible using the greater transit network.

Rideshare to the Delta Center

For those getting dropped off or using rideshare services like taxis or Uber/Lyft, the Delta Center provides a designated pick-up and drop-off zone located on 300 West Street right in front of the main entrance for easy passenger loading and unloading access.

Delta Center Insider Tips

The Delta Center is one of those buildings that looks pretty standard from the outside but has a bunch of little quirks once you’ve actually gone a few times. These are the non‑seating, non‑parking things that actually change your experience.

Use the Mountain Menu Like a Local Hack

For Jazz and Utah Hockey Club games, hunt down the “Mountain Menu” signs. You can get $2 bottled water and $3 hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, and Farr’s ice cream bowls at select stands, which is insanely cheap by arena standards. It’s available at core concession brands like Craft Shops, Tenders, Summit Snacks, and Farr’s Ice Cream on the main and upper concourses.

The catch: that fan‑friendly pricing is game‑only. Concerts and other events usually go back to “normal” arena pricing, so don’t be shocked when your total jumps for a tour show instead of a Tuesday Jazz game.

Timing Your Arrival

For team events, doors typically open about 90 minutes before game time, and that extra window is where you actually feel the arena at its best—short food lines, plenty of room to roam, warm‑ups on the court/ice, and a calmer vibe.

If you only show up 20–30 minutes before tipoff, you’re basically signing up for:

  • Shoulder‑to‑shoulder concourses
  • Long bathroom lines
  • Having to choose between seeing introductions or grabbing food

Rolling in early once or twice will probably convert you.

Accessibility & Guest Services

If anyone in your group needs wheelchair assistance or accessible seating fixes, deal with it as soon as doors open. Wheelchairs are limited and handled through Guest Services once you’re inside; they can also help swap tickets into accessible locations if you didn’t purchase them originally.

The arena has a dedicated Guest Services line and on‑site desks; snapping a photo of the phone number or desk location the first time you go makes it much easier to solve problems quickly on future visits.

Drinking Culture, Utah Version

Because it’s Utah, the alcohol setup can feel a little different if you’re used to bigger markets. Expect:

  • Beer and seltzers at most stands, with cocktails concentrated at bar‑style kiosks.
  • Higher prices and tighter pour rules than your neighborhood bar.

A lot of locals pre‑game at Flanker or other bars in The Gateway, then grab a single drink or two inside just to keep the vibe going. If you’re being budget‑minded, that outside‑then‑inside rhythm is the move.

Restaurants & Bars Near Delta Center

Salt Lake’s food scene around the Delta Center punches way above what you’d expect for a smaller market. Most of the good stuff clusters at The Gateway and in the few downtown blocks you’ll naturally walk through on your way to the arena. Here are spots that actually make sense pre- or post-game.

  • Mr. Shabu (Gateway): Japanese shabu-shabu hot pot with thin-sliced meats and veggies you cook tableside in bubbling broth. Great if you’ve got time to linger and want an interactive meal before a night game.
  • HallPass Food Hall (Gateway): A big, buzzy food hall with multiple vendors under one roof: burgers, ramen, tacos, fried chicken, and more. Perfect when your group can’t agree on one cuisine or you’re trying to feed picky kids fast.
  • Flanker Kitchen & Sporting Club (faces Delta Center) – High-energy sports bar right across from the arena with big screens, a solid cocktail program, and a menu built for sharing (wings, sliders, house-smoked BBQ, etc.). This is the closest “pregame hub” for Jazz and concert crowds.

These are somewhat nearby, but a bit further away from the arena so keep that in mind.

  • Chile-Tepin: Sit‑down Mexican spot that works if you want a proper meal, chips and salsa, and margaritas before walking or ridesharing to the game.
  • Crown Burgers: Local institution known for char‑grilled burgers stacked with pastrami; very Utah, very filling.
  • White Horse: Cocktail‑forward gastropub downtown with legit drinks and upscale bar bites, better for adults’ night out than family pregame. A little further walk from the arena
  • J Dawgs: If you know Utah, you know J Dawgs—it started as a BYU student’s hot dog cart in 2004 and became a local institution. Their Polish dogs with “special sauce” and all the fixings are legitimately good, not just “good for arena food.” I grab one every time.

Quick tip: For big games and weekend shows, plan to eat 90+ minutes before doors. Popular spots at The Gateway and around the arena get slammed with pre‑event crowds, and walk‑ins can see 45–60 minute waits if you show up right before tipoff. Reservations where possible plus a little buffer time will save your night
