Coyotes 8
Keep Calm and let them Carry On
The NHL has tried to figure out a solution for the Coyotes staying in Glendale for over 4 years. They obviously see something there that a lot of us hockey fans don’t see. It could be the 13th biggest TV Market, a rise in youth hockey, expected rebound in the housing market or maybe the […]
Potential Gate Revenues in KeyArena
Let me first say that I’ve always felt analyzing Arena Revenues on the success of a franchise is just part of the financial picture & can be shortsighted. Arena Revs are important and it is largely reported that NHL relies on their Arena Gate revenue much more than other professional sports leagues. My point about the Gate Revenues […]
More on the City of Glendale Arena RFP

The local coverage by KING5’s Chris Daniels and sports radio KJR has been excellent. I will post a lot of links in […]
Hang in there Phoenix Coyotes fans!!!
As the news starts to break on the Jamison group not being able to come up with the funds, I wanted to send a note to the Coyotes fans who have been loyal through this whole ordeal. Hang in there, the coming days, weeks and maybe even months will not be kind. I’ve always rooted […]
