Coyotes Moving Forward with New Arena Bid
Team set to make offer on land in North Phoenix
Facility expected to open in 2027-28
The Arizona Coyotes have taken a major step forward in their quest for a new arena by committing to bid on a tract of land in North Phoenix. The team's current lease at Gila River Arena expires after the 2021-22 season, and they have been searching for a new home ever since.
The land in question is currently owned by the Arizona State Land Department, and the Coyotes will need to win a state auction to acquire it. The auction date has not yet been set, but the team is confident that they have a strong bid.
If the Coyotes are successful in winning the land auction, they plan to build a new arena that will be part of a larger entertainment district. The arena is expected to open in time for the 2027-28 NHL season.
The Coyotes have been playing in the Phoenix area since 1996, and they have a loyal fan base. However, the team has struggled on the ice in recent years, and they have not made the playoffs since 2012.
A new arena could help the Coyotes turn things around on the ice, and it would also provide a much-needed boost to the local economy. The team is hopeful that they can win the land auction and make their new arena a reality.
