Attendance would be way much better if the Coyotes shared the arena with the Suns. Glendale isn't the best place, especially for an 82 game schedule. The Cardinals can get away with it, considering that it's only once a week, or even two weeks. I used to live in southern Phoenix, now I am in the San Tan Valley (by Queen Creek). Most Coyote fans are from Scottsdale, Mesa, Chandler, places east of Phoenix. Glendale is west.
Believe it or not, there are a lot of Coyote fans, a lot of people have "jumped" in on the team ever since they made a great playoff push in 2012. But the location is the worst. I used to live 30 minutes from Glendale, now I live about 75 minutes away. I'll still go to the 2-3 games against the Flames when they come down, but I probably won't go to as many non-Flames games since the drive isn't that great (considering Phoenix is one of the top 10 cities in population).
