PHOENIX — The Arizona Coyotes have submitted an application for state trust land in north Phoenix as a home for their new arena, the team confirmed to 12News on Friday.
The Arizona Republic was the first to report on the application.
The Coyotes confirmed that they have applied for the land, but gave no further comment to 12News.
This is the first step in the latest chapter of the Coyotes’ search for a new home after being evicted from what is now known as Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale. The Coyotes had played in Glendale since 2003.
If the application is approved, the land will then go to auction where other bidders could buy the land.
The next steps would also include financing, how to build infrastructure and potential government tax benefits.
The Arizona State Land Department Board of Appeals will next meet on Feb. 8. Neither the Coyotes nor their apparent development firm, Miracle Development, are currently on the agenda, but could be added up until the morning of Feb. 7.

just move this team already…it hasnt worked in Arizona ever. They have been given more than enough chances. Sorry, but enough already….hartford, SLC, quebec would be happy to have a team
I'm afraid they're setting themselves up for future problems building way out on the periphery of the city like that. You want to be in the downtown of a major city and if you're not, you'll eventually end up wishing you were. That gives you the best access to the most people because you're roughly equal distance from everyone. If access is too problematic, people won't go.
I lived in the Ottawa area when the Senators put that brand new rink way the hell out in Kanata and I remember even then, people were saying they'd be sorry they built so far out and it wasn't long until they were proven right.
phx is not gonna let another arena set up shop against suns arena. just more bluster from a bunch of con men liars no one trusts.
The Coyotes have been a clown franchise for many many years now. They have cost the league and players association millions of dollars, year after year. They now play in a clown arena, that the rest of the NHL considers a joke. They have "forgotten" to pay their rent and taxes. They got the boot from Glendale. Nobody believes for a second they can close any land deal, because the ownership are looking for a sweetheart deal and then flip the team at the first chance. Problem is everyone knows these owners will not be their to pay the cost when the bill comes due.
Just move the team. This is an embarrassing moment for the league
Wow..they would be desert dogs in this location. I really don't see this going very far like past false starts.
We must maintain the only Phoenix Columbus rivalry in sports.
Moving from the 10th largest metropolitan statistical area in the USA to the 47th seems counterintuitive.
Miracle Development? It'll be a miracle if the arena is developed.
If they build out in NE Phoenix they are effectively making the same mistake as with Glendale. The distance from that plot of land to downtown is nearly twice the distance as compared to Glendale. It’s about 27 miles compared to about 15 for the arena in Glendale. They essentially be right back at square one.
That property is in north Phoenix, not Snottsdale. Not a perfect location but much better than Glendale.
Salt Lake City seems like it’s going to be their new home.
The coyotes are costing the players and owners money.
The biggest problem with arizona for any sport is half the population is transplants. Except for the suns most people like other teams football baseball and hockey. The only thing that puts butts in the seats is a winner. Look at the dbacks they made the world series and had terrible attendance up until the last month of the season and the playoffs. The haters never acknowledge everything the yotes have been through. Unlike vegas and seattle getting amazing teams to start the yotes have never not been in an uphill battle. They finally have a good team gm and ownership. I sure hope us fans that have stuck with this shitshow from the beginning get a chance to enjoy this team and all their young talent.
The Coyotes are the NHL’s answer to the Oakland A’s. Both situations are an embarrassment to the respective leagues. The Coyotes might be worse. Why? There are places to put them right now, where they can be successful. Quebec City immediately comes to mind.
Saying this as a hockey fan in general. But it would be great to finally see the Yotes get their “crap” together with the new arena and hockey does work in the Southern US. If they can actually build a new arena, and continue building this young team up. Then it shouldn’t be an issue but since their move from Winnipeg. It’s been nothing but a gong show, which could definitely be a deterrent for these areas not wanting them there
Yeah, it’s north phoenix.. but that Road on the right of the open field is the Phoenix/Scottsdale line… so when you say next door.. it really is… I could see it going there. Maybe not the perfect place, I know most teams/owners would want to be in the metro line station areas.. but those are close to down town and those areas just don’t have a large enough plot to build on.
Arizona Coyotes we’re done when Las Vegas got a franchise.
So, with this deal, it’s going to be at least a year before they even know IF they can buy the land, then more time to get an arena built? Maybe another 5 years minimum playing at Mullet? Embarrassing. Move the team, then let Arizona build an arena and apply for a new expansion franchise.
They had a sports arena in Glendale they used to play in. Its a sports arena and i don't understand why a sports team isnt playing there?
Very shoddy journalism, it has been said time and time again. UTAH WILL BE AN EXPANSION not a relocation
The Coyotes had their chance way back in the late 1990's with the Los Arcos Project and that blew up in their face. I do not know now if they will survive in the Desert…..
Great report. I am a transplanted Baltimore guy. Phoenix is my home. I cheer for the Coyotes. Back home all we ever had was minor league Hockey. More recently nothing and expected to follow the Capitals. Nobody in Baltimore and central Maryland follows DC in anything. So living in Phoenix and following the Coyotes is a big deal for me. Hope an Arena solution is in the future. Also the old Coliseum in the industry area by 19th Street holds 15,000 and that could be a good alternative til an Arena solution is found.
