COME ONE!! This is getting to be flat out embarrassing. This is the equivalent to and NFL team announcing they are playing their games at a high end highschool stadium. If you want people to take your league seriously, you can't let this happen.
MOVE THEM!!!
How can the rest of the owners be OK with this? There is money from other teams propping these guys up for years, now you have downgraded any revenue potential even more. When do the players say something! They are 50-50 supposedly. They are in debt to the owners thanks to Covid. This is money coming right out of their pockets.
What a joke.

So, assuming that Bettman is never moving them, I can see a longer benefit here. Games held on the campus are going to be attended by students. Fun atmosphere, but also potentially building a stronger fan base as they graduate over the next four years. In the meantime, maybe a new option emerges for an arena in a more logical location?

Supposedly the Coyotes average 11,575 at home games which I call BS on because there doesn't look to be that many in the seats. But even if that's true, they are cutting their attendance ability by more than 50%. Not to mention I would assume loss of suite rentals, potentially advertising for the stadium size.
No one will get mad at Bettman for not trying to save the Yotes. Pull the trigger.
