"Built with the frame from a Zamboni that was used in the 2002 Salt Lake Winter Olympics, the Zammoth is a 17-foot-high ice blue mammoth with glowing eyes and giant 3-D printed tusks."
"To be clear, it can no longer clean the ice. It's just a giant, metal creature tricked out with sound and lighting effects that will leave the ice resurfacing to the modern machines."
"In talking to the arena team, we found out we had the Zamboni from the 2002 Winter Olympic Games sitting in the building. That spirit is going to live in this incredible masterpiece that our fans are going to be able to have fun with for years to come."
The Utah Mammoth transformed a decommissioned Zamboni from the 2002 Winter Olympics into the Zammoth, a 17-foot-high mammoth-shaped vehicle. This attraction can seat eight fans and will move around the Delta Center ice during pregame and intermissions. Mammoth owner Ryan Smith described it as a unique fan mobile. The project involved collaboration with the Diesel Brothers and artist Billy Luber. The Mammoth are currently in the wild-card spot in the Western Conference, aiming for their first playoff berth.
