FireCaptain 563 Report post Posted June 10, 2015 Couldn't find any of the numerous other threads about the 'Yotes being homeless, so here's one more. http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/coyotes-deny-breach-of-arena-lease-agreement/ City of Glendale meeting to discuss Coyotes leaseThe latest development surfaced when members of the Glendale City Council reportedly were concerned that IceArizona had breached its 15-year, $225 million arena lease with the city by using the $15 million a year it receives from Glendale to pay down debt incurred when the group purchased the team.

wings87 1,290 Report post Posted June 10, 2015 The quote from the last paragraph from the link made me chuckle: It's likely going to take time for Arizona to become a contending team, but once it does, the fans should follow. Yeah they'll follow them alright. They'll follow them when they go on vacation to Vegas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted June 10, 2015 Nothing says "successful location" like having to win Cups constantly in order to hold more than a few thousand fans' interest. A good location should be pulling in at least a decent amount even when the team struggles. Yes, attendance and sales go down when teams suck, but the "real" franchises still get someone to show up.

While I agree its probably time to give up on Phoenix, or Arizona, or whatever, I do think its worth mentioning that it wasn't all that long ago that Mike Illitch had to give away cars to get people into seats at Joe Louis arena. 4 LasVegasRocks, Hockeymom1960, FireCaptain and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BadgerBob 297 Report post Posted June 11, 2015 Maybe put them in a location in Phoenix that doesn't suck to get to? Anything I've heard from people I know that live there is no one goes to the games because a lot of them start close to rush hour and that rink is a huge pain in the ass to get to.
