Salt Lake City council members demonstrated interest and excitement Tuesday as they discussed the future of pro sports in the Beehive state's capital city.

The city council's chair, Victoria Petro, said, "I think anyone who realizes the gravity of the situation understands that this is a massive generational opportunity to do some good."Following the Smith Entertainment Group’s application surrounding S.B. 272, council members discussed in detail what that process would entail.

Lewis said the application is the starting point that verifies the basic terms of S.B. 727 are being met.The key objective of the legislation is to create a sales tax increase. Lewis said that would be .5% citywide to help fund the project. "The first question is, what is the applicant planning, and where are their capital cost needs?" Lewis said. "And I think that's going to drive those questions about where the money is spent within the project area or to benefit the project."The council has scheduled time on May 7 to meet and discuss the proposal with the Smith Entertainment Group.
