The Calvin L. Rampton Salt Palace Convention Center, more commonly known as the '''Salt Palace''' is a convention center in [[Salt Lake City, Utah]] and is named after Utah's 11th Governor, [[Calvin L. Rampton]]. The name "Salt Palace" has been the name of two other buildings in that city.


Brownlee represented [[Great Britain at the 2008 Summer Olympics]] in the triathlon event, finishing 12th.
== History ==
The historic Salt Palace was built in 1899 under the direction of Richard Kletting, architect, and owned by [[John Franklin Heath]]. It stood on 900 south, between State Street and Main Street in Salt Lake City. The original Salt Palace contained a dance hall, [[theatre]], and racing track. It was destroyed by fire on [[August 29]], [[1910]], and was replaced by Majestic Hall.


==Titles==
The new Salt Palace was an [[indoor arena]] in [[Salt Lake City]], [[Utah]]. It was built on land that was once the "Little Tokyo" area of the city. Originally completed in 1969 at the cost of 17 million $<ref name="1972 bid">[http://www.alumni.utah.edu/continuum/winter01/bid.htm Continuum Magazine - Opening Bid - Winter 2001 - University of Utah<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> , the 10,725 [[Seating capacity|seat]]<ref name="1972 bid"/> arena was the home of the [[Utah Stars]] of the [[American Basketball Association]] from 1970 to 1975 the [[Salt Lake Golden Eagles]] hockey club from 1969 to 1991 and the [[Utah Jazz]] from 1979 to 1991. In 1994, three years after the Jazz moved into the [[EnergySolutions Arena|Delta Center]], the Salt Palace was [[demolish]]ed. A [[convention center]] of the same name stands on the site today.

==References==
On Jan. 18, 1991, three teenagers were killed at an [[AC/DC]] concert in the old Salt Palace. Those three were Jimmie Boyd, Curtis Child, and Elizabeth Glausi. The concert was general admission only and when AC/DC took the stage, the crowd rushed towards the stage, trampling the three. Security tried to get the band to stop playing but failed to tell the band that people were being trampled, so the band played on. Several minutes had passed before security personal were able to get to the victims. Many Utahns feel the band is to blame for this incident while others blame the promoters for over-crowding the stadium.

In honor of the "founding father" of Salt Lake's convention and tourism business, as well as Utah's proactive economic development efforts, the Utah State Legislature overwhelmingly voted to officially change the name of the Salt Palace Convention Center to the [[Calvin L. Rampton]] Salt Palace Convention Center in the fall of 2007.

==Architecture==
[[Image:DSCN9505.JPG|thumbnail|240px|The interior of the Salt Palace east entrance]]The '''Salt Palace Convention Center''' is an architectural wonder. The trusses which support the roof were designed by one of the world's foremost roller-coaster designers, [[Kent Seko]]. Many of the convention center’s most striking visual features were obtained through the creative use of [[HSS]] (Hollow Structural Steel) in exposed applications by its architect, Atlanta-based [[Thompson, Ventulett, Stainback & Associates]] working with a local firm, Gillies Stransky Brems Smith Architects.
