Delta Center is an indoor arena in Downtown Salt Lake City, Utah, United States. The arena, constructed from May 1990 to October 1991 at a cost of $93,000,000, is owned by Jazz basketball Investors, Inc.. It was originally named Delta Center, after Delta Airlines, from 2006 to 2015 EnergySolutions held the naming rights to the arena, in October 2015 Vivint took over the naming rights. The arena seats 19,911 with 56 luxury boxes and 668 club seats. It has been the home of the NBA's Utah Jazz since its opening and was also home of the AFL's Utah Blaze from 2006 to 2008, the WNBA's Utah Starzz from 1997 to 2002, the IHL's Utah Grizzlies from 1995 to 1997, and the IHL's Salt Lake Golden Eagles from 1991 to 1994. The 1993, 1994, and 1995 Western Athletic Conference men's basketball tournament were held in the arena, as was the 1993 NBA All-Star Game.

During the 2002 Winter Olympics, during which the arena was renamed the Salt Lake Ice Center, the arena hosted the figure skating and short-track speed skating events.

Outside of the arena are statues of John Stockton (unveiled in 2005) and Karl Malone (unveiled 2006). In April 2010, the basketball court was named in honour of Larry H. Miller.

The arena's roof was damaged by severe winds associated with the 1999 Salt Lake City Tornado, costing $3,757,000 to repair. In 2002, the arena upgraded its super system with ribbon display technology and auxiliary scoreboards from Daktronics.
