The Arizona Coyotes’ housing saga continues.

The Tempe City Council voted earlier this month to move negotiations forward with the NHL and the Coyotes for a new arena. On Wednesday, the team pitched a $1.7 billion plan for a 46-acre property that includes an arena and an entertainment district.

Coyotes team president and CEO Xavier A. Gutierrez told ESPN earlier this week the team would pay for the entirety of a new district.

“We have [been met with] some skepticism about that, but that truly is what we’re proposing,” he said.

After being cut off from renewing its lease at Gila River Arena in Glendale, the Coyotes decided to play their 2022-23 season at Arizona State University’s multipurpose arena. 

The $115 million facility is expected to be completed in October, but the Coyotes have to follow certain NHL arena rules if they want to compete there. 

  • The team is paying more than $20 million for a 15,000-square-foot structure on the edge of the ASU arena.
  • It will include locker rooms, training areas, equipment rooms, and more.

The Phoenix Business Journal reported that modifications to the building won’t be finished until December, well after the NHL season starts in October.

Instead of playing away games for the first two months of the season, the team is reportedly working with Oak View Group and the NHL to get the team into the arena before December.
