The Arizona Coyotes have submitted a proposal to build a new arena in Tempe.

The city of Tempe released a statement, not identifying the Coyotes, stating there was one submission for a mixed-use project incorporating a professional sports franchise and entertainment district..

“We are pleased to have submitted a proposal to the City of Tempe,” a team spokesperson said Thursday. “As regulations surrounding the RFP process dictate, we cannot comment any further at this time, but we remain incredibly excited about this extraordinary opportunity.”...

The conclusion of the process would ultimately result in a public meeting and a vote to accept or reject an agreement with the team.

“The city of Tempe anticipates that the next steps in this evaluation process will take many months and will include extensive examinations,” said the city.
