Utah sports teams struggle to engage fans as interest wanes in 2025
Sports teams in Utah are struggling to engage fans in 2025. While BYU football had a successful season, other major teams like the Utah Jazz are facing challenges, with fans feeling disconnected from the competition. The Utah Hockey Club is new and still building interest, while college basketball at BYU has not met expectations despite some promising talent. Utah's women's gymnastics and Utah State basketball are performing well, providing some hope for local sports. Real Salt Lake had a strong regular season but was eliminated from the playoffs. Overall, many traditional sports in Utah are not drawing the crowds they once did, leaving fans disappointed.
