Confirmed with Link: All-Purpose Coyotes Arena Talk: Land Auction Date Set - 6/27

Is there a link for that? Would love to hear that story..

Friedman mentioned it a couple times on TV

What's wrong with speculating in the meantime? Isn't that the point of a message board where we can just talk about random nonsense because we're bored?

Why are you speculating that I'm bored? You should wait for me to tell you I'm bored.

Would we otherwise be posting on a message board if we weren't bored?

My friend @Summer Rose has put together a F40 Refugees Discord - we're currently working on how to get the invite link out to whoever is interested.

Like the French government in exile.

I take back everything I may have ever said uncomplementary about Leah Merrell.

Her comments about the Twitter trolls tonight have made me her fan for life. I may subscribe to PHNX just to tell her that.

I saw it live.....

The F-bomb per minute rate was incredible.

Also saw this morning a couple of the usual suspects on BoH seemed to take enjoyment in it. Wished I could say something in regards to it but can't.

Double secret probation. Just waiting for him to make one mistake.

...and more or less hoping he does.

I'll say something. F*** all of them. Especially that camelid-appearing chode. What the hell, this board's history in a couple of days, so if I get infracted or banned for insulting those intellectually dishonest troll posers, so be it. All they know about business is the business of being pimply, basement-dwelling incels with too little actual life to distract them from misery.

Smooches, boys, I know you're reading this...

I just set one up, but I'm not sure about this site's rules in trying to get people to join. Perhaps @TheLegend or @SniperHF could chime in.

You can post it publicly.

I knew I was being used. It was ok. I enjoyed the heck out of games I saw in person this year. I watched nearly every game on TV that I wasnt at, and enjoyed almost all those as well ( remember chicago? that sucked) . To me it was an ok trade - my fandom and enjoyable times delivered, for the risk of it not being there in the future. easy. In the last of many final analysis moments, it seems to me Muerlo owes me nothing , except the $ I put down on 24-25 tickets.

Yeah, I wouldn't go all Howard Stern on them and say "I hope you get cancer" or some such....but perhaps an annoying persistent rash somewhere might be nice.

I did have to chuckle when I saw someone say, "By moving the Coyotes, it opens the door for Bettman to move the Jets to Arizona."

 

[LAIslanderFan]

From everything I've read, the Delta Arena in SLC is a dump. Wouldn't it be great if AM won the auction and built the new arena and it was finished before SLC had their new arena complete.

What is the Roadrunners future in Arizona?

Alex Meruelo will maintain ownership of the Tucson Roadrunners after the sale of the Coyotes to Ryan Smith, with the Roadrunners continuing to serve as the

Leafs fan coming in peace here.

To all the Yotes fans, I'm sorry you guys are losing your team, having lost my Mississauga Icedogs years ago still bugs me to this day, especially with it being due to a crappy ownership situation.

In saying that, I hope the fan base gets a Good Ownership Group with a plan the second time around. I've never believed that Hockey more specifically NHL Hockey won't work in Arizona, I think it just needed time and the right owner to put them in a good situation.

All one has to do it look at Nashville, Tampa, and even Florida for that matter to see that "Non Traditional" hockey markets can work with the right ownership group.

No idea as to whom the right owner or arena situation would be best for the market, but hopefully in a few-several years time we get to see it in Phoenix.

This post is so rational, so empathetic, so enriched with the best attributes of humanity, you have me questioning that you are actually a Leafs fan.

I just emailed the Changing Hands Bookshop to see if there are any updates on the Tempe land fill? If you recall, the woman that owns those stores was a major voice against the Coyotes Tempe vote. She suggested better ways to develop that land.

I'll order some books from Amazon and send her my receipts.

From what you gather? And where and what is that? You guys better be careful of what you wish for because if AM does win the auction we could have NHL back in three years, if he doesn't NHL won't be back for a least 10-12 yrs.

If you think that grifter can win the auction(if there even is an auction), then somehow fund the entire build, then somehow pay back the billion from the NHL--all in 3 years--then you're goofier than I ever thought. The 10-12 years, though? I think you're absolutely correct about that.

MLB is broken, uncertain why anyone spends money on that product but Diamondbacks are top 10 in the league with 10 home games.

Between 2012-13 & 2019-20 (pre-pandemic, pre-Mullet) the Coyotes drew an average of 13,640. This was for a non-playoff, no major star, limited history, objectively boring, franchise. They would not have been challenged to find 3,500-4,000 bandwagoners with a competitive team, in a good building.

MLB is far from broken, other than the fact they still employ Angel Hernandez for some unknown reason. He's worse at his job than anyone has ever been at anything, ever.

As one of the few Valley residents residing east of the 17 that didn't complain about the drive to Glendale, I went to nearly all of those games between 2012 and 2020. I know what the averages say and I know I spent $15 or less for 90% of those games. But other than against the usual suspects, if you believe there were really 13k on average every night, I'll just say 'Okay' and not argue with you. 9k is closer to accurate.

Salt Lake City Solicitors. The helmets need to be painted to look like a bicycle helmet too.

Edit: This is why they can't just merge the new Utah forum with this one

How could Meruelo provide a definitive timeline when the auction was still looming? Even with land in-hand and construction ongoing all that can be provided is a target.

Someone that's serious about accomplishing what was planned would have had people doing the work to prepare him for that meeting with answers to potential questions like that.

Honestly, even if the TED vote had gone Meruelo's way, I don't think he would've made it happen. People can keep saying "He's a billionaire" and "He knows how to develop land" all they want. But do we know that for certain? We haven't seen him do anything but operate with shady business practices.
