Dan Roberts has been at the PA microphone for Utah since ‘79 — club’s first year in SLC
Millions of Jazz fans have heard Roberts over the last 331/2 years, beginning in 1979.
Not sure of the exact number, Roberts estimates he has worked at least 1,600 home games, including the preseason, regular season and playoffs.
