On Sportsnet Radio at noon they had an Arizona business writer on that said Glendale had to recently close a fire station cause they didn't have the money to keep it open. Creating average transit times to an area of the city of 12 minutes! I really don't understand the priorities of this council or city. I know they don't want to lose money on the arena, make the best of a bad situation, but it just doesn't seem to make sense.
If they Coyotes leave, they could still bring in a junior team or AHL team could they not? If they can't sell out a NHL game, they might as well try with a smaller team. They would still have concerts at the arena too.
And then they wouldn't lose that 50 mill? Or is that gone either way now?
I still think this is going to cost the city in the long run. And I still think they get moved eventually. And perhaps the guy on the radio was a card carrying member of Goldwater or something and had an axe to grind. Still, seems like a waste of money, especially when it may not even work in the long run.
