They have to get the (NBA) Kings first for any of that to happen. Or another team, or the NBA has to expand. Inertia, baby.
I am not actually knocking you but the first post I read was about selling tickets at prices that would make the team successful. If you believe that the team selling season seats behind the nets for $1800 per season is a good price for someone who wants to buy the team then I guess you and I see things differently. My seats here cost me $1800 per seat. I see on Dallas's website they advertise same seats for $2400 but I don't know what benefits come with that. I get some including ability to trade some games for free, parking, and ability to buy equal number for same price to any games. Looks like same seats in Anaheim are about $3000 if I read prices correctly??
Last years season ticketholders got to renew for 45 each...new were 50 and half were 59 each in the lowers.
Still had this floating around in case anyone was having a hard time remembering:
Early renewals out...using 43 games, my lower level seats would be $50 each again with their early bird pricing.
Could you clarify that bolded part? You have an extra word in there. That sentence could mean completely different things depending on what you got wrong? Helping out with the Coyotes or helping without the Coyotes?So according to our old buddy Sunnucks, (hi mike!) Glendale wants to hire an arena consultant to help with out with the Coyotes. Anyone want to read some tea leaves and tell me what they think this means?

Either way, they should have done this years ago. Glendale Arena goes dark in a couple of months. They should have had their own people booking shows and taking care of arena management long ago instead of letting the arena wallow into irrelevance at the hands of the NHL. They could have hard numbers on how many shows can be booked at what kinds of profit levels and see the effects on the surrounding businesses. They would know how much it costs definitively in that short term instead of blindly trying to figure out how many hundreds of millions to give out as a subsidy. They would've had actual tax revenue coming in on the events they could've booked and from the extra business generated at all the satellite businesses. They would know just how dependent on the Coyotes they really are. Instead, they are entirely behind the 8 ball with no win scenarios on every side. This is the blind leading the deaf listening to the mute. So much incompetence to go around.
If they keep losing, it's done even quicker.
GB has told city council very recently that he still wants the Coyotes to stay. Most likely to stay in the SouthWest. But, I'm sure they're talking to Seattle and company too.
So far, it's all talk and speculation on moving the Yotes. But they aren't helping their case or timeline by losing 6 in a row.
"@JSportsnet: With a report of potential relocation of Phx to Quebec,hearing that there is a new group of Canadians Investors looking at the Coyotes."
"@JSportsnet: Cdn Group has been in contact with NHL and are considered lead group in purchase. Key names in group are Anthony Leblanc and George Gosbee."
"@JSportsnet: Gosbee is head of AltaCorp Capital and Vice Chair of AIMCo, a $70 Billion investment Fund. Word is they are finalizing a proposal with NHL."
All at the game Monday in the main suite. Seen talking with Woods.
So this investment group is making a proposal that would relocate us? Where to? Quebec City?
