The “Winter Weekend” includes events with the Jazz, Mammoth, and a concert.
The NHL's Winter Classic weekend in Salt Lake City is set to expand into a four-day event, according to Smith Entertainment Group (SEG) owner Ryan Smith. The revised "Winter Weekend" will feature the NBA's Jazz, the NHL's Mammoth, and a Delta Center concert, in addition to the original Winter Classic game between the Mammoth and Avalanche.
The event is part of SEG's strategy to position Utah as a premier sports destination. Smith emphasized the team's efforts, including selling out games and renovating the Delta Center for hockey. He also expressed ambitions for baseball in Utah, vowing an aggressive push for an expansion Major League Baseball franchise.
