Nobody is crying louder than Steve. His issue to address.

[@nicko5945]

Steve is dead wrong on SLC unfortunately. They are actually a much larger media market than a good chunk of the current cities in the league. They are 3/5th the size of metro Phoenix, not 1/4 and they will be almost immediately working on a new stadium. The government has already approved about 1 billion to a new downtown stadium for an NHL team. Also the original delta center is old, but it underwent major renovations just a few years ago.

Where is the new arena being built? How close to the site of the old Salt Palace where the Jazz first played?

[@nicko5945]

@@Lawomenshoops essentially right next door. It will be right across the street on the east side of the delta center and will actually take up some space where the salt palace is now. It will be the block south of south temple and between 200 and 300 west.

Why on earth does anyone keep saying the Utah arena isn’t ideal. The other option is Mullet. Arizona doesn’t have an arena! 11,000 is WAY more than 4,600.

Why would the new Owner keep the existing front office? They couldn't even pay their hotels bills. I'm sure they will clean house.

Sour Grapes Peter’s

[@jamesbonaiii3278]

Not to defend Alex, but it is amusing to hear what a horrible owner he is, then in the next breath talk about the great young talent that is going to burst onto the scene.

[@bobbypaluga4346]

I said long ago that the Coyotes were going to move to SLC and that the jackass Meruelo’s massive arena project will never be built. If the Coyotes version 2 comes to life Meruelo won’t have anything to do with it. Meruelo can’t pay his arena rental bills nor hotel charges but he’s going to come up with $3 billion to build he’s pie in the sky project. There is an excellent chance that the Mayo Foundation will buy the state land. Why no one has reported the Mayo interest is beyond me. Peters and Morgan are nothing more than shills.

The NHL will probably wait about 6 years just top spite Numbnuts and I'd be okay with that.

[@dsarmy1]

I understand that but I wonder how that will work. I mean because numb nuts gets to keep the Coyotes name and logos. So if he isn’t the owner, then who gets rights to the name? They might have to change the name under a different owner.

[@dsarmy1]

The arena that will be used immediately in Salt lake isn’t ideal but the new owner is getting $900 Million of public funding to build a new arena.

[@DanoFSmith-yc9tg]

Realistically it probably should have happened a decade ago. The thing that ticks me off is that they aren't taking the Coyotes name, symbols, and jerseys. Those were all among the leagues best, I doubt Utah will have nicer. Are there no coyotes in Utah or something? Pretty sure there is. We have them all over canada, from coast to coast. The proposed Utah names are horrible, and the jersey mock ups look like PWHL kits. Just make them the Utah Coyotes, everything that the Coyotes were, just in SLC and not Arizona. Utah Yotes sounds better then the bs names being tossed around.

[@bobbypaluga4346]

Peters “facts” are complete BS, within 40 miles of the Delta Center lives 2.8 people, its growing at the fastest rate in the country. I live in Gilbert, it’s 30-40 miles away to get to the supposed new Coyotes site.
