Ryan Smith owns just about every major sports team in Utah
Salt Lake City has become a significant hub for Ryan Smith, the owner of the Utah Jazz, who recently acquired the former Arizona Phoenix NHL team for $1.2 billion. This move includes relocating the team and its staff to Salt Lake City, thereby expanding the city’s sports landscape to include two major teams from the United States’ “big four” leagues: the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the National Hockey League (NHL).
