The Coyotes and their mini arena has an embarrassing turn of events
The Arizona Coyotes' next arena is one of the most ludicrous situations in the NHL, and it continues to raise a lot of controversy.
The Coyotes will share their arena with the Arizona State University Sun Devils next season, as you may know. The saddest part of this tale is that the NHL franchise will not be the primary tenant in the new facility!
The Suns Devils recently showed pictures of the future amphitheater, which is currently under construction, and it's downright embarrassing for an NHL team...
We thought we had seen the worst of this story, but no. We have just learned that there is a slight twist in the story.
While the Coyotes announced that they were going to have 5000 seats in their arena (which is already pathetic), it will be less than that.
The Coyotes have officially completed their deal with Arizona State University and the final and official capacity has been revealed: 4700 seats.
The team should play there for the next three seasons, with an option for a fourth year.
Unbelievable honestly... So there will be 300 less seats than announced (for a total of 4700 instead of 5000, which is considerable) and on top of that, the students of the University of Arizona will have an entire section to themselves, with tickets almost given. This still significantly lowers the number of tickets for sale to the general public.
You can guess that there are a lot of reactions and it's another embarrassing turn of events for the NHL, going from a 5000 seat arena, to a 4700 seat arena with less than 4000 tickets to sell.
