from Craig Morgan of Arizona Sports,
The Coyotes have met at least twice with officials from Arizona Veteran’s Memorial Coliseum about playing there on a temporary basis after their arena lease and management agreement with the City of Glendale expires in 2017, Jen Yee, the assistant executive director of the Arizona Exposition and State Fair (which includes the Coliseum) confirmed on Wednesday.
Among those who attended the meetings were team executives including Coyotes CEO and president Anthony LeBlanc, outside consultants, including recently hired arena consultant Mitchel Ziets, and Coyotes construction partners. Yee said the party toured the coliseum on both occasions.
Arizona Sports reported on Nov. 2 that there are at least three possibilities for a new home for the Coyotes in the Valley after their agreement with Glendale expires following the 2016-17 NHL season: a shared arena with the NBA’s Phoenix Suns downtown, an arena that could be shared with Arizona State University’s hockey team (possibly on campus), and an arena along the 101 corridor.
