Pardon my lack of knowledge, but what's wrong with Soldier Field? Doesn't it have historical significance? I know it's old as dirt, but so is Lambeau, Wrigley, Fenway, and half the stadiums in college. If it's just a matter of modernization, couldn't some renos be done and save say, $4 billion dollars?
Agreed fully. That's kind of why I believe that Jazz actually works well. It's a nice alliteration and if you think beyond the 'UTAH ISN'T KNOWN FOR JAZZ!!!!!!!!!!" sentiment, I feel it almost describes more of the flowing, upbeat movement of the game of basketball.
I feel Stingers could work (although it would sound waaaaay better with Salt Lake/City in front of it). Rattlers (there are 6 species of venomous rattlesnakes in Utah), Sidewinders (also a venomous snake native to Utah) I feel could hold some weight.
Utah is a weird/hard location to really nail down an identity. It invokes 'cold, snow covered mountain' thoughts, but in reality, the vast majority of it is rugged desert terrain. So, even though a wild-west/desert animal nickname would be realistic, it doesn't actually fit well, because no one thinks that way.
That would turn into a cross-stateline war with massive slingshots. Utahns would launch their extra wives and copies of the Book of Mormon. Arizonians would fire cacti and cans of Four Loko. It would be assured mutual destruction.
