I've always thought if the arena was on east side near 101 somewhere the Coyotes would be more successful but that ship has sailed with Vegas coming into the league.
Phoenix missed the opportunity to create a loyal fan base and capitalize on incoming tourist/snowbirds and fans of northern teams flying in for weekends by having the arena so far away from where these people stay and have places.
Why would anyone now fly to PHX to spend a weekend and watch their team when they can fly to Vegas and have a much more entertaining weekend outside of a 3hrs hockey game.
