Featuring: Corina Nelson, GM of the Salt Lake City Bees
Corina Nelson, General Manager of the Salt Lake Bees and the first woman to hold the role, joins us at the Ballpark at America First Square to talk about her 21-year journey with Miller Sports & Entertainment — from Megaplex Theaters to running one of Utah's newest sports and entertainment districts.
In this conversation, Corina opens up about:
- Why the ballpark was intentionally built for intimacy over capacity
- The emotional story behind opening day, April 8th, 2025
- The unexpected lunch invitation that changed the course of her career
- What it means to be the first female GM of the Bees, and how she's inspiring the next generation of women in sports
- Balancing a demanding career with a close-knit family life
Whether you're a lifelong Bees fan or just love a good career story, this one's packed with heart, hustle, and a few home runs along the way.
