Move 'Em To Orlando, Just To Piss People Off
-
The move of the Glendale, AZ City Council to void the Arizona Coyotes lease agreement at Gila River Arena is sending fans in places like Seattle and Quebec City into raptures of "hockey is coming!" But it sucks for Phoenix, which DID support the team when it could GET to the team. I mean, have you ever tried to get from, say, Tempe or Mesa to Glendale in time for a 7 pm event? It's a nightmare. The arena's in the wrong place. If they were still downtown, they'd be fine -- remember the White Outs? -- but the Suns' arena was not a hockey building. Too bad they didn't put the new one downtown, or Scottsdale, or anyplace a reasonable drive from the East Valley. Now, Phoenix is facing what Winnipeg did when the Jets became the Coyotes, so maybe this is karma. (KTVK-KPHO-TV/Phoenix with AP)
