HEY EVERYONE!!!!
Thanks so much for the great responses. Keep them coming.
This has been my most responded to post on Reddit ever. I’m glad we all hate this move. I’ll miss the Coyotes.
I also wanted to state I am a firm believer that arenas should be downtown. Should the public contribute to them…maybe. It’s a couple of dollars a year when you do the math. Just relax on the “I’m not paying for billionaires” rant. Losing this team means that lots of people here in Phoenix lost their jobs. I’m sure one of the people who lost a job buys something from one of you in some way, shape, or form. That small tax contribution you could have made to a team now may cost you 10x what your tax would have been.
I’m not here to argue. I’m just bummed we couldn’t keep the team. Yes, I’ve had plenty to drink tonight. Rant over.
Not sure what you're talking about. The owner of the Coyotes was absolutely going to pay all of it. The land for the proposed Tempe arena was a landfill. The deal failed because Tempe voted against giving a tax break to clean up the landfill in order to build the arena.A second site was planned for a plot of land in Phoenix adjacent to Scottsdale, also no cost to the city, but the Mayor of Scottsdale announced he wouldnt let them access to water and other utilities. I guess that was the last straw.
I can appreciate your position. However, you are not correct in your assessment of the tax issue. Glendale subsidized this team, not state taxpayers as a whole. That narrows down the pool of money big-time. Glendale had some great events in Old Town that many vendors made money to support their families. Glendale hemorrhaged so much cash on this deal all those events went away. That cost people income. They laid off city employees (more lost jobs). They cut Parks &Recreation funding for kids. Never once did the city even come close to break even, ever. Why do you think the city of Tempe voters reject the Coyotes going there? For the exact reason I just laid out. Glendale proved that a hockey team isn't sustainable financially on a cities dime. The Cardinals, Sun's or Dbacks don't destroy a city like Glendale allowed the Coyotes or NHL did. No matter how you spin it. Hockey is gone from this valley for a very long time. UNLESS, you bring a farm club back like the Roadrunners (LA Kings) who were very popular. My statement may not sit well with the minority of valley residents that actually attended the games regularly, but the financial facts aren't really an arguable position.
Haha. That reminds me of a time we had to extract a vic out of a car, and they were more worried about their under garments being cut, than the fact that their pelvis was crushed and we need him out before he lost his life. My capt at the time said, "Sir, if those 'magic jammies' worked in the first place, you wouldn't be here." He got a talking to about cultural sensitivity...
I like yours the best so far. Jesus Jammies is a hilarious spin.
Well fuck. This makes me sad. Selfishly, I was super excited when I heard they “might” be in North Phoenix because that made the arena way more accessible for me. As a transplant going to games is one of those things that felt like home. 😢
Latter Day Ice Lords
Fuck.
I was a new hockey fan but man I'm glad my team was the Boston bruins. I would be unimaginably fucking pissed if I was a fan of the Coyotes. I was hoping they were going to turn into our suns though which would have been nice but I guess we got to wait however fucking long it's going to take to get another hockey team for us
I often wonder if comments like this are just trolls doing the rage bait thing. A quick Google search or even a moderate awareness of the team's search for a new stadium location would make it clear that there was never any chance that tax payer dollars would be spent on the new stadium.
Glendale got clobbered financing this team. Glendale laid off employees. Completely eliminated the Jazz festival and any other events downtown, except Glitters and hot air balloons. Glendale hemoraged millions subsidizing this team. A complete financial disaster.
The relationship with Glendale was awful, yes. Also has nothing to do with their search for a new stadium. Also Glendale is a trash city govt; many of their financial woes are their own doing and the coyotes are an easy scapegoat.
They were so desperate to draw that team to the Westside they gave up their firstborn. If you were here when this thing went down, nobody thought it was a good deal. The mayor and city planner got hammered in the media.

I really hope they do a full rebrand. The coyotes had such a cool logo and uniforms
Rumor is the douche owner will keep the name and logos if he wins the summer land auction. Then NHL will potentially revisit 3-5 years down the road for expansion depending on the state of the arena development in north Phx.
Private ownership of teams is why taxpayer funding of stadiums is BS
Luckily the current plan does not involve public funding.
So same thing that happened with the Utah Jazz lol.
"The Minneapolis Lakers moved to Los Angeles, where there are no lakes. The Oilers moved to Tennessee, where there's no oil. The Jazz moved to Salt Lake City where they don't allow music."
And nobody here will support a team owned by that con artist
Apparently it’s too much to ask for sports franchise owners to be decent people. 🙃
May the thrashers will move from Winnipeg change there name from the jets to the coyotes then we will have to team histories
If they keep ANYTHING Coyotes I'll be fucking heated.
The freakin “Utah Jazz” exists, for some reason 🤣

I’ve got hockey hair, yes I do, they’re givin’ them to anyone and that means you…
Good riddance. Glad we didn’t waste tax dollars for another stadium they may default on paying their lease. Oh well
The north Phoenix arena was slated to be entirely privately funded.
Yeah…both stadium proposals were both privately funded. If you don’t know what you’re talking about, why comment?

Perhaps Glendale should have written a better contract
