There’s a lot of newness around the Utah Mammoth<\/a> this season. A new name, a new logo, and some kind-of-new jerseys as the team gears up for its sophomore campaign in the National Hockey League.<\/p>\n

There have also been some upgrades to the home barn, the Delta Center, and I have to admit, one of these has me feeling a little queasy and like my knees are made out of Jell-O powdered gelatin dessert.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mammoth beatwriter Brogan Houston shared a video of the upgrades to the Delta Center, and it now has what has to be one of the steepest sections of stands in any NHL<\/a> barn.<\/p>\n

First of all, the sightlines there must be immaculate. I was at a preseason game earlier this week at the Kia Center in Orlando, and where I was seated, there was a balcony that cut off a corner and the closest net.<\/p>\n

So, sightlines like that in a barn originally built for hoops? Nice.<\/p>\n

Now, that incline looks like you need to be an experienced mountaineer to traverse? Less cool.<\/p>\n

Looking at that just gives me vertigo. I mean, that video made my palms sweat.<\/p>\n

Of course, as an able-bodied and incredibly handsome fella, I could get up and down that without an issue, but that would be if I wasn’t carrying a beer and a soft pretzel or an order of nachos.<\/p>\n

In that case, it seems like a challenge on a Japanese game show.<\/p>\n

The Mammoth wrap up the preseason on Saturday at home against the Sharks, but won’t be back at Delta until the home-opener against the Calgary Flames on October 15.<\/p>\n

So, godspeed to any Mammoth fans who try to take those steps while juggling a couple orders of chicken fingers and Pepsi Zero in a souvenir cup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"These steps will give you some serious vertigo PublishedOctober 3, 2025 5:50 PM EDT\u2022UpdatedOctober 3, 2025 5:32 PM…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":200378,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[385,99],"class_list":["post-200377","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200377","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=200377"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200377\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/200378"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=200377"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=200377"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=200377"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
