Multipurpose Event Venue

Once a single-use stadium, Smith’s Ballpark is reimagined as a vibrant destination for both the neighborhood and the city—blending open space, active ground floors, and varied programming into a civic hub.

Sports

The adaptable layout of neighborhood fields supports both informal community sports and formal events. For example:

  • Informal pick-up games, such as casual youth soccer matches or friendly basketball sessions.
  • Formal events, including youth soccer tournaments, X Games competitions, and sporting events leading up to the Olympics.

Measuring 240 feet in length (80 yards) by 165 feet in width (55 yards), the multi-use field is spacious enough to host a regulation youth soccer match.

Designed for versatility, the field easily transitions between informal, unstructured play and organized sporting events.

Cultural

The new venue offers a combined capacity of approximately 9,000 spectators—filling a gap in Salt Lake City’s current venue landscape. This versatile space is ideal for hosting both large music events and smaller community functions, such as:

  • Concerts
  • DIY festivals
  • Utah beer festivals
  • Urban flea markets
