Message: [QUOTE="OttoinGrotto, post: 5088173, member: 297"] I think some of you are basing what you think you know about the state of Utah on perceptions you had as a kid of Utah being some kind of remote western outpost. Utah is one of the fastest growing states in the US. The state economy is strong and resilient and in addition to ski tourism has a thriving tech industry. A Utah based ownership group headed by Ryan Smith, owner of the Jazz and former CEO at Qualtrics, just acquired the Coyotes and is bringing the NHL to Utah, and they also have very transparent plans to be a player for MLB team acquisition/expansion. Utah is a market on the rise, and rising rapidly. The U of U's athletic tradition is nothing to scoff at either. Granted, I live very close to both BYU and the U of U, but a bunch of the assessments of Utah in this thread are just... wrong. [/QUOTE]
