Utah’s beer drinkers showed up in full force at Tuesday night’s NHL game at Delta Center. The match made Utah sports history in more ways than one: On top of it being the debut game for the Utah Hockey Club NHL team, it saw record-breaking beer sales at Delta Center, according to the Salt Lake Tribune.
By the end of the night, stadium concessions saw beer sales accumulate to over $120,000 — a number higher than that of any NBA or NHL event ever hosted at Delta Center, according to Utah-based investment company Smith Entertainment Group. To put that in a historical perspective, the stadium has served as the home of the Utah Jazz since 1991.
