Transportation

The Utah Transit Authority built the South Jordan Downtown station on the TRAX Red Line to serve the stadium. The City of South Jordan, the Utah Department of Transportation, and the Larry H. Miller Company aim to reduce the impact of the stadium on local traffic. Access points are being constructed to allow cars to enter the stadium's parking lot from Mountain View Corridor. Texas U-turns will allow drivers to make a U-turn without having to pass through intersections with traffic lights. Trails are planned to encourage access via foot and bicycle.

Ownership

The stadium is a privately funded venture by Miller Sports + Entertainment, owners of the Bees. The cost of the stadium was $140 million. It is part of a larger mixed-use entertainment district within the master-planned
