SOUTH JORDAN, Utah () — South Jordan is home to local businesses and neighbors who say they're starting to feel the effects of increased foot traffic from a .
Over at Land of a Thousand Hills Coffee, Amber Wilson said she could barely catch a break from making coffee. Dozens of baseball fans stopped by her shop before heading to the Salt Lake Bees' first game in on Tuesday.
'We're hoping that even just the foot traffic will be big and the more people in the area they will see that were open to the public,' Wilson told ABC4.com.

Wilson is optimistic the new stadium — with enough seating for 8,000 fans — will bring them more business: 'We have high expectations and hopes.'
Wilson has only owned Land of a Thousand Hills Coffee for a couple of months, but she says her shop has a lot to offer to newcomers.
'We want them to try our soda, we have a beer menu where they can come here and have a beer and light snack before they head to the game,' Wilson said.
However, some neighbors fear that this new stadium will bring more traffic to the area.
'There's going to be quite a bit more traffic, but we're close enough where biking seems like the obvious choice,' Steven Clyde said.
He continued: 'I am a little concerned that commutes are going to get a little crazy during the games.'
With each game expected to bring thousands of people, Land of a Thousand Hills Coffee is looking to cash in.
'Our coffee is sourced from Rwanda, and we give back to the Rwandan communities through our coffee. We're hoping as we're getting more traction obviously they're buying the coffee and that allows us to give back to the communities where we're sourcing the coffee from even more,' Wilson said.
