Utah is making significant strides to boost its sports industry presence. Jeff Robbins from The State of Sport Commission has requested $4 million from state legislators to support Utah in hosting major sporting events. The state is also preparing for a potential Olympic bid for the 2034 Winter Games, with 21,000 hotel rooms already booked and a target of 24,000. In addition, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman's remarks at his All-Star press conference have fueled discussions about the possibility of an NHL team in Utah.
