They already operate the stadium "across the street"....

“We would like to thank the Coyotes for this tremendous opportunity,” said Comcast-Spectacor President Peter Luukko. “We are excited about the possibilities and opportunities to secure new and exciting events for the region. We envision a synergistic relationship by operating both Jobing.com Arena and University of Phoenix Stadium that will be beneficial to all parties.

“At the University of Phoenix Stadium, the Arizona Cardinals and the Fiesta Bowl are the anchor tenants,” added Luukko. “We have been extremely successful attracting events such as international sporting events, trade shows, concerts, and large-size events to the stadium's schedule, making that venue one of the most heavily booked and successful stadiums in the world. By booking around the Coyotes schedule at Jobing.com Arena, we are certain we will see similar success.

“Based on our expertise in booking similar-size venues around the world, we are confident we can do great things together at Jobing.com Arena," added Luukko. “We are thrilled to be added to this great partnership and to be working with IceArizona on its commitment to keep the National Hockey League in Glendale. We believe NHL hockey is an integral part of the success of Jobing.com Arena and the surrounding development.”

Sounds like they already have boots on the ground in Glendale, so there may not be that much additional personnel being hired to run the show.

And nice that the have the clout to offer touring groups an outdoor or indoor option.
