If the Coyotes don’t have an arena to play in, won’t they have to move? They probably are behind on paying the city for the arena lease from previous years, and the city has had enough. Pay up, or get out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Wonder if both the Lions and Whitecaps would do better if they offered: 4 tickets 4 hot dogs 4 bottled water or soda 4 foam claws or 4 foam hands 4 Daypass for Transit for $140 if they'd sell out BC Place?

"I think the city of Glendale is negotiating. "There's no secret that Alex Meruelo, who's the owner of the Coyotes, is looking at his options to build a new arena somewhere else in greater Phoenix and I think the city of Glendale basically said to the Coyotes, you have to sign a 20-year lease or we're not going to renew." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Maybe they will move somewhere temporarily. While a new arena is built? Where do the Suns play? Could it fit both... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Especially the CFL) A family pack and fun/party pack would work for me. But yeah those types of things could be enticing but winning attracts too. If I recall correctly neither team has been that good last few seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the market that can produce the most extra revenue for the NHL. What really should occur is a 2knd team in Toronto.

Patel Bure Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 5 hours ago, Roger Neilsons Towel said: That franchise has been circling the drain for years. When I lived there in 2001 I could go to a game for $10 bucks and the arena would still be half empty. Stop trying to prop up a failed experiment and move the team to a Hockey city already. Agreed. Bettman had no qualms or hesitations in getting out of Atlanta so why hold onto Arizona? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 This is good news for the franchise honestly. Get em in "Footprint Center" alongside the Phoenix Suns. Or something. Or just move em to Houston. Either or. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogersTowell Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Relocation will be a function of a number of variables: population of the metropolitan area and likely fan base, popularity of the sport in the new city, competition from other major sports.
