Just get that damn team out of there already. An absolute joke of a franchise at this point

They did for 7 seasons, and it wasn't great. The building is built for Basketball so the sightlines are terrible, the ice is under the stands in some spots and the experience wasn't great.

Similar to the Islanders playing in Brooklyn.

It was a similar situation to the islanders playing in Barclays. Lots of seats couldn’t even see the whole ice.

Can't they just play out of the Footprint Center? It's in a way better spot anyways.

So the Arizona Coyotes owe the Arena management over a million dollars, ~$300,000 of that is owed from a previous payment that was not met.

What #### organization.

Bettman is too proud/stubborn to do it, but just getting this team to Houston in the hands of Fertitta is the right move here.

Bigger market, with a downtown rink available, and a rich owner who is very motivated to make it happen.

i seem to recall at one point the mayor of glendale turning herself (i think it was a female mayor) into a pretzel to keep the yotes in phoenix - i wonder if you did an accounting if you would find it was worth it.

The silver spaceship looking thing is the football stadium. The arena is the building on the far left closest to the stadium.

I'm not sure that's necessarily good for us. That threat (which I fully believe Murray Edwards was prepared to make good on) likely helped with negotiations with the City for the new arena.

I like the implication that the Coyotes are small and unimpactful. . How many times have they moved within Arizona
