SALT LAKE CITY — Utah Gov. Spencer Cox doesn't want the state to subsidize; however, sports business experts say Utah may have to find a way to sweeten the pot to get ahead of other cities also vying for a team.
"We don't build stadiums, that's not what we do," he added. "We've never done that and we're not going to start now."
