SALT LAKE CITY — In late September, Vivint Arena will be filled with the sounds of country music stars Faith Hill and Tim McGraw. In October, fans will be excited to hear shoes squeaking, basketballs bouncing on the hardwood and P.A. announcer Dan Roberts enthusiastically asking everybody, “How ‘bout this Jazz?”
In the meantime, tractors can be heard digging and beeping, the sounds of saws noisily echo in and out of the arena, and hard-hat-sporting workers fill the air with a variety of construction-related noises.
On Tuesday, Okland Construction gave local media members a tour of the progress that’s been made in the six weeks since the Utah Jazz were eliminated by the Golden State Warriors there in Game 4 of the second round of the playoffs.
