Couldn't see the whole article so if what I'm adding is in the article, my apologies.
Massive population base of almost 1 million in the area with the closest professional sports being San Antonio for basketball only. The baseball squad ranked 30th in attendance among ALL D1 schools. The baseball stadium and atmosphere is amazing and can only imagine what the football is like. Tried to see the football stadium a few years ago during a SLC baseball tournament, but it was blocked off during renovations. Looked pretty impressive from the outside and in pics.
