Utah NHL team reveals shockingly cheap concession prices
Utah’s new NHL team may have some issues with the arena’s sightlines, but there is certainly no problem with concession pricesāfrom a fan perspective at least.
The newest member of the NHL will host its first-ever regular season game next week against the Chicago Blackhawks and fans will be in for a surprisingly cheap outing if they wanna hit up the concessions.
Earlier today the team revealed its “Fan-Friendly Concession” prices, which are way below the prices many fans have come to expect from arenas around the NHL.
This includes things like hot dogs and popcorn selling for just $3 while bottled water will be sold for just a measly $2.
“Today marks an unprecedented step in our continuous commitment to elevating the fan experience at Delta Center,ā said Chris Barney, president of revenue and commercial strategy for Smith Entertainment Group in a release.
āWeāre showing fans that we are listening to their needs, and, there is no better time than now to take this step as more people than ever will attend games at Delta Center this season.”
Your fan faves, even better šæ

This is in contrast to other concessions around the league, where many of those options can sell to up to double that price. Not only will fans of Utah’s NHL team be able to get in on the fun, but also the NBA’s Utah Jazz, who will share the Delta Center this upcoming season.
Starting this season, five of the most popular @deltacenter concession items will cost between $2-$3 at all Utah Jazz and @utahhockeyclub games ššæšØhttps://t.co/aRu41MIMQH pic.twitter.com/7NVB8B4VMX

This will undoubtedly be a hit with fans and people on social media are hoping it could eventually catch on in other markets as well.
Love those prices!

You can buy that whole menu for the cost of a beer and hotdog at an oilers game

Perhaps other teams around the league will take note of the positive reception and follow suit.
Fans can only hope.
