Default State of Arizona cancels land auction for Coyotes proposed arena land

Basically cancelled the auction until Coyotes get a permit

Why are we still talking about this? It was bad enough to have this stuff coming up constantly when the team was still playing in Arizona. Now it's a big nothing burger.

No rush. Atlanta isn’t ready to relocate yet.

Is it just me, or does AZ seem like a bureaucratic nightmare in terms of development?? I thought Republican states were supposed to be business friendly and reduce red tape? Between the numerous municipal jurisdictions, the differing rules and approval processes, the opportunities for constant citizen opposition and referendums, it is amazing anything gets done there outside of single family houses.

If anyone thinks this is a post excusing the ineptitude of the Coyotes, they are mistaken.

You mean Meruelo might not get another NHL Team? That is most shocking.

Arizona is currently a Blue state.

Also, Maricopa County (which contains Phoenix) is pretty heavily Democratic, and seems to have a history of bureaucratic snafus.

Meruelo is a joke and the team will be run much better in Salt Lake City.

He really is. You would think that someone with that much money would be able to afford someone to advise him on how to get things done.

There was a deal to be had in Tempe, yet he tried to ram something through that was so unpalatable it created huge opposition to it.

I'm glad this location got shutdown too. It was Glendale 2.0 as far as I am concerned.

I hope that the window closes on this chapter of the Coyotes and a real owner can bring the NHL back to the valley.

Arizona is a red state, both the House and the Senate are Republican which are the governance bodies.

The Meruelo Group are so inept.. lol

Good riddance to them. How many bridges can you possibly burn? Kudos to Gary Bettman for seeing the future and maximizing the value for the league.

Congrats to Meruelo as well, he made a fortune on the back of his incompetence.
