I don't think SLC could support football or baseball right now. But, there are some things that are helping--Utah is proving that it can sustain some pretty high level sports as the Jazz, Bees, Real and the Blaze all are pretty good in attendence when compared to other cities.

In the next 10-15 years, SLC will have added another 100-200,000 people. I could see SLC being able to handle either MLB or football. The problem, and we all know it, with football is the Sunday games. But in 10 years, SLC will be a lot less Mormon and maybe they could fill the arena. But I think baseball is a better option for Utah than football would be. Its fun to think about at least.
