A couple thoughts:
1) why would they vote down an arena with no public funds? That seemed to me a pretty good deal for the city. I don't know why it even had to be referendumed - just seems like something designed for any large project to be NIMBYed out of existence.
2) I don't give a flying...friend...about another Canadian team. It's just one more group for me to hate. I don't care if it stays in Arizona, or if some other city in the US gets it. I'll never understand why so many Canadian fans are so up in arms about warmer places getting hockey teams, or about what the attendance is for teams that they otherwise don't care about. It doesn't really bother me at all.
I do think the University rink is a bit of a joke though...at least they don't have the curtained off dressing rooms any more.

Gregor had a guy from the Athletic in Arizona who follows the Yotes and the whole rink story on yesterday. Sounds like the Yotes owner screwed up again. Based on what he said, sounds like there was a group who was big time against it and spent a lot of money to spread misinformation to scare people. This group supposedly spent 2 mill on their smear campaign while the Yotes spent 200 grand.
This group said things like this new rink would cause flights to be redirected over neighborhoods which is a complete lie because the FAA controls that, not the owner of a rink. Lots of stuff that was very exaggerated and out right lies by what the guy said but people believed it.
I do think it's time for the Yotes to go. I know they team has made mistakes, moving locations was 1 but it's been 27 yrs and they still don't have a big enough fan base to make it remotely operable. No one can fault the NHL for not giving it a serious try.
