I do feel bad for the fans there. Heck, it always sucks for the local fans when a team relocates, and this is no different. If you zoom out, I think the league should have pulled the plug on Arizona a long time ago ... it feels like they have gone far beyond what was reasonable to somehow save this market and make it work there. Much of that is down to ownership, no doubt about it ... feels like it's been decades of instability and insecurity there. Either way, the prospects of securing suitable land for a new arena must have been really dire for them to finally pull the plug now.
