Nestled near Mountain View Corridor, the ballpark will be easily accessible for fans across the Wasatch Front with walking and cycling options available for those who live within the 4,100-acre master-planned community of Daybreak. UTA also has plans to add an additional Red Line TRAX Station for improved public transportation access.
“Downtown Daybreak will be a transformational, mixed-use development in the fastest growing part of Salt Lake County, and we are thrilled this initial phase will be anchored by a new ballpark and entertainment plaza. This project, located between the TRAX line and Mountain View Corridor, will be a destination for the community to gather and create shared experiences for family and friends,” said Steve Starks, CEO of the Larry H. Miller Company.
