News summary

The Salt Lake Bees will play their final game at Smith's Ballpark on September 22, 2024, before moving to a new stadium in South Jordan, prompting discussions about the future of the historic site. Salt Lake City has initiated the Ballpark Next campaign for public input, with a recent community meeting favoring a public market and food hub as potential replacements. Mayor Erin Mendenhall and city leaders are considering various redevelopment options, including preserving or partially demolishing the ballpark, with a final plan expected by March 2025. The University of Utah is negotiating to use the stadium temporarily for its 2025 season. The redevelopment aims to bring human and health-centered benefits, such as early childhood education, access to fresh food, and job training to the community. A $100 million trust from the Larry H. and Gail Miller Family Foundation will support the redevelopment efforts.
