Arena has never been an advantage for them however. 4 year old nba only building when they arrive. Thus like 13k unobstructed seats.do you honestly think that the arena was the problem? i've never thought that.
i believe every owner, since day one, has simply not had a clue how to market this product. and i cannot help but think the nhl has intentionally seen fit to put into place a long series of owners who have no clue. that's been the mystery to me ... why has the league doomed this franchise by allowing poor clown after poor clown to run the show.
No chance of new arena in the same area cause the government funded the current one. So waste of money for them.
So, no ownership group there has ever been able to work out private financing to build one.
Then they move to Glendale. Risk vs reward. NJ moved from meadowlands to Newark. They took a gamble too. That’s why it’s always neat to have the arena around downtown. Easier access since majority of people work downtown. Can go after work.
I think the coyotes play this out until Sarver and Phoenix agree to runs the renovations to the TSRA. Once that deal is done it makes Scottsdale and Phoenix out of reach as it would not make financial sense to have a pair of arenas so close together competing for the same non sport events.
