"As the deadline nears for management groups to bid on running Glendale’s Gila River Arena, the NHL's Arizona Coyotes and the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals are staying on the sidelines.
Coyotes President Anthony LeBlanc and Cardinals President Michael Bidwill told The Arizona Republic in separate interviews that their organizations have no intention to submit bids. The arena manager books events and concerts and maintains the facility.
At the time, the Cardinals partnered with venue-management company SMG to bid on the job. Three other competitors also submitted proposals.
The negotiations were covered in the media, but Glendale officials failed to formally inform the Cardinals they weren't selected until after The Republic twice submitted public-records requests for rejection letters. At the time, Cardinals executives considered the matter a professional slight.
Bids are due Dec. 11."
