The Salt Lake Bees' owner, the Larry H. Miller Company, and the city only have two years left to agree to terms on a new lease at the ballpark.
The Salt Lake Bees open their season at Smith’s Ballpark Thursday night, May 6, 2021, after shutting down for the 2020 season due to the pandemic. With the team's lease at the stadium expiring in 2024, residents worry about what will become of the Ballpark neighborhood if the Bees don't return.The soundtrack of Amy Hawkins’ life is set to the beat of Smith’s Ballpark.
“The neighborhood felt so different that year,” said Hawkins, the chair of the Ballpark Community Council. “And I know every neighborhood felt different. But baseball season is so intrinsic to the positive energy in this community, not having it felt so physically and emotionally empty.” The Larry H. Miller Company, which bought the team in 2006 — five years after it became the Triple-A affiliate of the Anaheim Angels — has made no indication it plans to move the Bees. But it hasn’t guaranteed they will stay, either.
