The Arizona Coyotes potentially have found a new home in Arizona with a land auction to be held in June for an area just outside Scottsdale. However, Scottsdale's Mayor is highly opposed to the project.
The area of land that will be going to auction this summer is located just off loop 101 and Scottsdale road, just outside Scottsdale city limits. The land is within the city limits of Phoenix itself, giving Arizona's largest city jurisdiction over the area. That being said, the neighboring suburb is apparently not thrilled about the possibility of an NHL building right next door.
He also notes that the area is not feasible or safe for the project. It is in a high-traffic area and there is currently no infrastructure to bring water to the site. It seems that Ortega will not be allowing the developers to tap into Scottsdale's infrastructure to bring plumbing on site, forcing them to rely on Phoenix's system instead. This is less practical and likely more expensive.
