Of course there is debate. So far it has completely failed.
I owned a house in the West valley for 10 years and spent time all over the Phoenix CMA. There simply was little interest in the Coyotes.
People can blame the arena location all they want, but the arena was easily accessible from everywhere but the far south east.
People in large US cities are used to driving all over as part of their daily routine. If there was significant interest in the Coyotes it's not a hard drive from most of Phoenix.
I'm not saying it's impossible for Phoenix to work, but it's far from a certainty.
