How can anyone expect this arena to fill up with those prices? Students have their tuitions to worry about let alone $3,649 minimum season tickets price tag. $89 bucks to get in per game? Gary and the yotes owners must be dipping into the Peyote and licking their chops again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an insult to fans of hockey in Arizona. This should be the laughing stock of professional sports but hockey is so irrelevant that people won't even notice. If I'm a billionaire owner of the other 31 teams, I'm furious that I'm basically subsidizing this joke of a franchise through revenue sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goal:thecup Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Bettman must really have the BOG by the short and curlies. And not a peep out of the other teams? I do not know the facts, but I believe most(?) junior teams in Canada play in larger rinks. Cancel their franchise and move the bits to a hockey mad market. Hell, I don't even care if it is in Canada or the States anymore. Just give up on this Arizona/Phoenix crap Gary. Your underwear is showing more than Matthews'. Stinky, stinky, stuff Buttman.

Corporations don't like losing teams... it isn't a good vibe to go to see games where your local team gets shellacked every night and everyone is depressed by the end. They will continue to get folks from visiting teams attend games... but at these prices it is going to be a half empty building still. They should have at least had a bunch of nosebleeds for cheap to get college kids in to bring some energy to the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great little hockey town. Even the Safeway has an ocean sunset view. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes these corporate tickets are used to take partners to an event as what I remember some folks from our Company were taken to watch the San Jose Shark home games. You don't want to take your business partners to a sports game whose Arena is suited more for a minor league team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are better off buying tickets to college sports in that area as alumni will be excited to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering how they are going to protect people without having netting over the entire thing, its such a tiny space. Its going to be a gong show. What free agent is going to want to go there? Maybe Megna can get a 3milx4 deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nooks Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Just think of how hard it was for Winnipeg to get their team back with the number one issue being a suitable arena to play in. Absolute bush league by the NHL…fans at every other building shouldn’t have to subsidize this trainwreck. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly I am a hockey fan but if I was working in Phoenix and had to take some clients around for entertainment there is no way I would take them to an Arena that minor league teams play on. I would rather take them to a Suns game instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 If I was an owner. I'd ask for an emergency meeting. Get the 31 other owners to get together. I'd show them what a joke this is. Demand that the BOG have Arizona sell the team and move to Houston or Portland. This is an absolute joke. The UBC Thunderbirds Sports Centre holds 7,500 fans.

thedestroyerofworlds Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 This may illuminate why the 'Yotes were not going to play in the Footprint Center (the Suns arena) like they did when they first moved to Phoenix. It underwent a major renovation and basically why the Suns ownership said no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
