Read a quote from a Tempe resident re: the TED in an ABC 15 story, and her comment (paraphrased) about why she is voting no was this:

"They need to put their arena farther away from the metropolitan area."

I think it was at that exact moment that my brain broke for good on this whole subject. Now I'm just going to sit here, lightly drooling, with a vacant and bemused look on my face, waiting for my inevitable demise.
Oh…my…goodness…

:facepalm:

I wonder what % of total ballots will be day-of drop-offs? Based on absolutely nothing at all, my completely ignorant prediction would be less than 25%

7pm. I was e-mailed that they started counting on the 12th, so we should have a strong indication after the poll closes.
Yes, that was my understanding as well, that they should have a pretty complete picture right away.

Also, nice timing by them to have the election date end up being one of the few dark days during the first 3 rounds where there are no playoff games...

Say we get a YES tonight. I’m not expecting that, but say it happens. How much more crap do guys think will pop up to put the whole thing at risk again? Wild law suits, crazy judges, other unexpected nightmares?

Staying positive, I see!

Good luck y'all. This has been on my mind for a week. I can't wait to visit TED once it's finished. If I can suggest a name for the arena, "Fairview colosseum"
What's wrong with the dog house?

It would be built right across the highway from my company's Tempe building. I've been dreaming about us hopping in and naming it ever since the news broke. :)

PHNX Coyotes is going to live podcast a show tonight sometime around 8pm (possibly 8:30pm depending.... ) when the first batch of vote totals are released.
