History

Idaho Stampede

The team was founded as a member of theContinental Basketball Associationin 1997 and was league runner-up in the 2003–04 season, losing to theDakota Wizards.After the 2005–06 season, the Stampede announced that the team would be joining the NBA Development League. From 2005 to 2015, the team played as the Idaho Stampede at theCenturyLink ArenainBoise.Before then, they played home games at theFord Idaho CenterinNampa.The Stampede's sole NBA affiliate is theUtah Jazz,with whom they originally had a hybrid partnership. However, on March 24, 2015, the Utah Jazz and the Idaho Stampede announced that the Jazz had purchased the Stampede, becoming the 8th NBA team to become owners of their D-League affiliate.They also had past affiliations with theDenver Nuggets,Seattle SuperSonics,Toronto Raptorsand most recently thePortland Trail Blazers,with the Jazz taking sole affiliation after the 2013–2014 season.

Move to Salt Lake City

The team was purchased by the Jazz on March 24, 2015, and signed a one-year lease atCenturyLink Arena.Shortly after the Jazz bought the Stampede, rumors abounded about the team's relocation toOrem, Utahto be closer to the parent club; coincidentally, Orem was home to the D-League'sUtah Flashfrom 2007 until 2011 (the team now plays inWilmington, Delawareas theDelaware Blue Coats). These rumors were not far off, as on April 4, 2016, theUtah Jazzand the D-League announced that the Stampede would relocate to Salt Lake City for the 2016–17 season and would be renamed the Salt Lake City Stars.The Stars would play at the Bruin Arena atSalt Lake Community CollegeinTaylorsville, Utahfor five seasons.
