When will the Houston Yotes become official?
Sounds like sodasopa and the lofts at Kenny's house.
This is so odd to me… like, would the same thing happen if the Canucks built a new arena in Burnaby? I doubt it.
I still shop at an IGA 😀
The team should call themselves the Mesa Coyotes.
Cleveland Coyotes
Can someone please explain to me again why they can't share a building with the Suns?
seems like Phoenix is their own worst enemy. I hope it works out well for the team and community
“Leave our landfill alone. We ❤️ the garbage.”
You talking about the actual trash or the governmental bozos filing this suit?
I love my ‘Yotes, but this is just another blow to this team we don’t need.
2024-25 Houston Coyotes Incoming!
They should just move the team
Shannon: I live 2 blocks from military airbase. When the F-18's launch, you can hear me, all I hear is afterburner. The "Hawks" and the helo's sound different. Great place to watch airshows. Fortunately, this is a working base, which means no commercial traffic. The cargo craft actually are just as bad, noise wise but again this goes away.
This reminds me of the story of the old St. Louis Cardinals football team.
St Louis County and St. Louis City had to have the new stadium built in their municipality. They went back and forth until Bidwill had enough and one night loaded up the trucks and moved the team to….Arizona
idk why they keep using Sky Harbor as an excuse….i lived directly under the approach path to PHX airport for 3 years, and my apartment was 2 miles closer to PHX than the new arena district…their whole case is baseless.
This straight up just sounds like Phoenix is mad the Coyotes aren't building it there.
It sounds like this is a best case scenario for all three of Tempe, the Coyotes, and the NHL as a whole. There's no way the city of Phoenix actually expects this lawsuit to go anywhere given all of the other info. They're juat trying to sabotage the vote.
We still have IGAs here in Quebec xD
Thank you Shannon, for being fair and informative regarding the Coyotes! There is a strong fanbase here and we are trying hard to keep the team and actually build a winner! When the arena is built and if you make it to Tempe to visit, your game tix, food and beer are on me!

This lawsuit sounds pretty Fanatics tier.
I’m watching this video as I hear an airplane taking off from the airport 20 miles away from me at night.
people in the phoenix area are being jerks? color me surpreesed. i hope the voters will do what's right. gila river was starting to have really decent attendance before covid. frustrating situation all around. coyotes get the worst of all of this, being looked down on by the whole league for playing in mullet arena.
If Conner Bedard gets selected by the Coyotes I hope he does a Lindros!
Here's the thing about the Phoenix area – the city of Phoenix itself is a failed experiment. It has no real downtown area – they tried the double downtown thing and it didn't work. When people say "I'm going to Phoenix", they're really going to Scottsdale or Tempe. It sounds like Phoenix is a little salty.
Two cities in Arizona are fighting each other.. sounds about right
I saw this on puckempire and thought it was a joke meme😅
Maybe there is more than just landfill in there…
it's leverage. someone on the builder side probably got a smarty pants variance that cut out some area from tax revenue, and so now the offended party is suing to stop the whole project until that variance gets rescinded and the expected tax revenue portion of the pie is reinstated.
it's like that scene in Casino where Sam Rothstein refuses to allow the nephew of the local gaming commission heavy back on the job, because as they both agree, the nephew is an idiot. someone with some perceived clout expected a (potentially legitimate) kickback of some kind, likely some other bean counter on the builder side extinguished the kick back as a cost saving measure (not knowing the history or the quid pro quo), and now the person with clout is attempting to throw their weight around.
i'm just unsure whether the plaintiff really has the kind of backing that can withstand the pressure they're going to get. if this was something like: phoenix was going to 10% of the project's tax revenue because a parking lot or an offramp was going to be built 10 feet over a boundary line, and some construction guy saw how silly the parking lot or offramp was designed and "made it simpler and better", thereby cutting out phoenix's 10%… then this is going to get interesting. the quick fix is to put the quo back in the quid pro… but this big of an action, and the press around it, could make the quick fix difficult for some to swallow.
anyway, that's just a guess. it could also be some kind of weird political baloney (NHL backed the wrong candidate), or just pure $$ blackmail in the pretextual guise of a lawsuit.
Crazy to have a society that is so litigious that there are concerns about people sueing an airport that was their before they moved in (to a house they decided to live in).
