Utah Jazz at the Delta Center

A Jazz game is a classic Salt Lake night out, and the weekend and afternoon games are a great way to bring the kids along. The season's early home games bring in some of the NBA's best-known teams, so there's a good reason to go early in the year before the schedule fills up with the holidays.

One practical tip from the Delta Center's listings: bags aren't allowed inside, other than diaper and medical bags up to 14"x14"x6" and small clutches, so leave the backpack in the car.
