No existing plans for a new arena.
Phoenix is a nice city that, broadly speaking, attracts retirees more than it attracts prime of their life athletes living a more lavish lifestyle.
To throw out the team as a possible top 5 destination is just preposterous given all of these things. Of course this can change, but so much has to change in this situation. Right now it is a bottom 3 destination and you’re arguing about whether it is preferable to Winnipeg.

-Ownership is absolutely stable (Although, I'd prefer a sale to Suns own Mat Ishbia)
-Track record of success, see above - most issues due to unstable ownership
-College arena doesn't matter today from all accounts, but a new arena will enhance the attractiveness of the location
-Arena plans will be announced in the next couple of months
-Voters rejecting the Tempe deal doesn't matter
Even at its lowest the location is more desirable than Winnipeg. Who are having issues selling tickets themselves these days
