Mullett Arena Buzzes as Coyotes and Oilers Face Off
A New Era for Hockey in Arizona
WEB Arizona Coyotes fans eagerly filled their seats at Mullett Arena on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, for an exciting NHL hockey game against the Edmonton Oilers. Amidst the anticipation and excitement, news swirled that the team is expected to be sold and relocated to Salt Lake City.
A Vibrant Arena and Entertainment Hub
Mullett Arena buzzed with energy like seldom before in its three years of operation. The development of a new arena and entertainment district is gaining momentum, with the Coyotes' new arena anticipated to open for the 2027-2028 NHL season. The timing aligns with the Coyotes' timeline, and the team has released renderings of the planned arena and entertainment district as part of their bid for land in north Phoenix.
A Setback in Tempe
However, a recent setback emerged when Tempe voters rejected the Coyotes' proposed hockey arena deal. The Arizona Coyotes conceded defeat after the vote, further complicating their quest for a permanent home.
A Long-Running Bid for a Permanent Home
The Coyotes' search for a permanent home has faced several obstacles over the years. The team played in Glendale's Gila River Arena from 2003 to 2021, but financial disputes forced them to relocate to Mullett Arena in Tempe. Despite the challenges, the Coyotes remain committed to finding a long-term solution that will provide a stable future for the franchise and its passionate fans.
