David Piper, a member of the Utah HC public relations team who was on-site with vice president of marketing Lisa Nilchian Saturday, said once the structures are completed, the media will be allowed to take a tour.

"I trust what Ryan and Ashley (Smith) are doing," Nilchian said. "It's really humbling to be a part of something this special."
