West Valley Mayor Jerry WEST VALLEY A Wright called the building a beautiful, complete arena that will be the centerpiece of community events. When the arena and surrounding area are developed, he said, most of the (community events) happening here in West Valley will take place here in this area. The mayor also thanked the hundreds of citizens who signed the final two beams, which were placed in the northeast corner of the building, at the ceiling. They will be visible from inside the arena. I don't know how many names we have on these beams, the mayor added, "weve done this to let you realize that it is your building." The building, which will seat 10.400 for hockey and up to 2.000 for other events such as musical concerts, is also expected to host wrestling matches, tractor pulls, and other popular events. Forty luxury suites will each seat 16 people, complete with a wet bar. closed circuit TV, and other amenities. The suites are expected to lease for between $35,000 to $50,000 per year.

After winning as the Denver Grizzlies in 1995, the team was displaced by the movement of the Quebec Nordiques to Denver to become the NHL's Colorado Avalanche. In July 1995, the Grizzlies found a new home in Utah when West Valley unveiled its plans to construct the new arena. The city secured a 2002 Winter Olympic venue and $7 million in Olympic funds in the process. The move to Utah didnt stop the Grizzlies winning ways, however, as they repeated as Turner Cup champions this spring. It's long summer without hockey, said Tuttle, adding that she's looking forward to the upcoming season, which will again be played in Salt Lake's Delta Center while the teams permanent home is being built.
