Vivint Gets Naming Rights To Home Of The Utah Jazz

Since then, he and others have grown Vivint to sell its own systems and expanded into things such as doorbell monitors, inside and outside cameras, Carbon dioxide detectors and smart thermostats that can be programmed and monitored on phones and other devices.

The renaming comes along with a partnership between Vivint and Larry H. Miller Sports & Entertainment.

The team announced the name for the building previously called EnergySolutions Arena on Monday. According to the company, Vivint now employs almost 7,000 people and has almost 1 million customers.


Utah Jazz Home Arena Gets Smart New Name, Logo

"The Utah Jazz and the arena have been an incredible economic engine for this region, and have created a tremendous sense of pride among Utahns", Todd Pedersen, CEO of Vivint, said in the statement.

Vivint and LHMSE officials know that the full name of the stadium, Vivint Smart Home Stadium, is somewhat of a mouthful, but Vivint felt it was important to add the "Smart Home" portion of the name in order to effectively introduce their company to a national audience. "This agreement extends far beyond a typical "logo-on-the-building" arrangement".

"I am really pleased about this association between two Utah businesses", said Gail Miller, owner of the Larry H. Miller Group of Companies. The agreement includes the "Vivint Smart Home Experience" in the concourse and other services aimed at improving the fan experience.

The name change, effective immediately, will be visible throughout the facility, with Vivint Smart Home Arena being prominent on the exterior of the building, the lower panels of the center-hung scoreboard, all digital building signage and on the Utah Jazz basketball court.

The 19,911-seat building opened in 1991. The company had revenue growth every year since at least 2006, reaching $397 million in 2012 before the Blackstone deal, but it also recorded a net loss every year from at least 2008. He says they've had a long term relationship with the growing tech company.
