Another mega project with a pretty drawing to go with it that sounds good on paper but in theory will never get done. The daily yote staying or going click bait article of the day. The bigger question is-is nhl going to go along with this and give this latest land bid which wont be known until almost summer a chance? And if it fails yotes are stuck at mullett another season. If it were me i'd just cut bait after season and let the billionaire in slc with arena, interest, and $900 mil. coming for an arena, take this mess off of nhl's hands. But then again this logic gets lost on bettman whose az. hard on wont let him see that reality. Tough one for greedy gary. I hope nhl has alternate sked and smith on speed dial-they will be looking at a middle of the off-season re-location if bid fails. Just like the glendale extortion bettman pulled on them in 2013 to make glendale pay for yote losses. With seattle threat looming glendale caved at last minute-in early july.
The Coyotes can have a better fan base in the bikini bottom compared to Arizona. Just leave at this point to a market thats better suited for a hockey team than in a desert
IF The Arizona Coyotes are fortunate to win the bid to purchase the Scottsdale desert land. It will cost more than Owner Alex Meruelo has I'm quite sure. The NHL is close to being fed up with all of Meruelo' lies and games. I live in the valley. I want to see hockey here. I too am FED UP WITH ALEX MERUELO! As a fan, I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THE CRAP THAT GOES ON WITH THIS TEAM! They'll end up moving!😢
That's never going to work. For this team to be successful, they either need to be in Downtow Phoenix, Tempe, or South Scottsdale. Anything less, and they still won't draw.
I've worked for this organization, on game nights, for 18 years. I've heard at least a dozen of these stories. The thing that stands out is that, currently, they only have a green light to "submit a bid on the land". If this doesn't work, next year will most likely be the final year in Arizona. The NHL is DONE with this circus. Talk to me when shovels go in the ground.
There is a greater chance that Space Aliens will fly into Phoenix on a mid summer's day and go snow skiing on the roof of Chase Field than there is this place is ever built.
AZ resident here. Nobody cares about the coyotes, I think I’ve seen two coyotes fans outside of going to a game since moving here in 2021. Arizona is mostly transplants that are loyal to their hometown teams, such as me with the hawks
I hate renderings like this. Except for the arena NOTHING else is ever built. That’s how these billionaires sell this use of the public’s money for any part of these projects which they could fund by themselves.
The coyotes left Central Phoenix Arena after about seven years. It was not suited for hockey. There were thousands of seats that were not able to see the ice. Terrible facility for hockey. There was talk back in the late 1990s about building an arena in Scottsdale on Scottsdale Road at the site of what was the los Arcos mall. Of course, that never happened.
No mention of a temporary return to Desert Diamond Arena. You know where they played before. How did you miss that in your research? You claimed they left footprint straight to ASU.
Servalli at gm meetings. Bettman when pressed didn't come out and say with certainty 'az. coyotes will be playing in az. next season'. And nba passed o merullio as hawks owner in 2011 saying his deal to buy hawks (for cheap $300 mil.) was too highly leveraged as concerns about his finances were in question. Yeah a piece of paper saying you can bid plus a pretty drawing of arena don't = an arena.
OK, look. I've tried to be as neutral in this never-ending saga with the Coyotes as humanly possible. But now, I've gotta say it — I don't like the Coyotes' chances of winning this auction and staying in Arizona long-term. If the Coyotes lose, that's it. Enough is enough. The NHL needs to get the Coyotes out of Arizona as soon as possible.

Awesome vid like always 👍
I'd rather see the Coyotes move to the Mormon capital.
Scottsdale/Phoenix bring the new arena
Tempe: keeping a toxic dump
Btw they got kicked out of Glendale not the footprint center. No worries it’s a common mistake.
Québec still waiting!!!
Location is awful for most still.

Murello trying another tax scam probably. Just move that team to Utah already Gary.

Want a job for life? become a Coyotes arena rendering artist.
Looks like the Orlando proposal for MLB

I think Quebec is still in line waiting
Debatable
I’ll believe it when I see it, kinda like Bigfoot.
Just move them to Kansas City.

NOPE! They should just fold as a team.
I can guarantee that the city and arizona WILL NOT help pay for it.
Why did they make their arena look like a chainsaw blade?
I am very glad that the Arizona Coyotes are staying and moving to Phoenix and have their own arena

From above it looks like a usb data stick dongle
They really got kicked out of an arena in Glendale (Desert Diamond Arena) that was built for them in the 00s. That's laughable.
The interior of the arena is awful looking
The can play in Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum for 3 years it is close to I-10 and I-17 and not that far from downtown Phoenix

I'm sure all that desert space you're gushing in will be quickly filled in if they build the arena.
That site is waaaaaaay in outskirts.

They cannot stay in Arizona. They need to relocate. Houston is my number one pick for the team to relocate to.
its in mesa the old mall was demo and yotes bought it
Sorry no translucent roof
