Brad Rock: Utah Jazz fans should embrace new/old home

When the Jazz open their home season on Wednesday, it will be business as usual, under a different name. Welcome to the brand new, same old place. Adjust your navigation devices accordingly.

If you say, “Take me to EnergySolutions Arena,” on a smart phone, you might end up in Elko. The Jazz’s place is now Vivint Smart Home Arena.

I’m OK with this, at least in the left side of my brain. While I’d rather the Jazz be playing in an arena named “The Hardwoods at Ensign Peak,” I’m a realist. When a team is paying maximum money to Gordon Hayward, naming rights matter.
