Sport Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I take the bus past Key Arena on my way home every day and it's strange. There's like no parking and if you didn't know it was there you would miss it. The hockey setup is worse even than the Barclay's center. It would absolutely have to be a temporary facility while they build the new arena in SODO, but that's still preferable to their situation in Glendale. I live a mile away so I'd probably walk to games all the time. Come on, Coyotes, let's get moving to the northwest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bosrs1 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Key Arena is likely good enough for the NHL. Perhaps they hoped an NBA team would arrive within the three-year window and with it, a new place. Or perhaps not.An off center 50 year old arena that looks like this is ok for the NHL?

TheOldRoman Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Can't be any worse than this:Getting go the Key may be a pain, but it's a nice arena. No, the Jobberdome is a really nice new arena in a terrible location. The KeyArena is an old, inadequate stadium that would come with no guarantees that a region which hasn't had the NHL in 90 years would jump right in, especially since it looks like the Coyotes' window of being competitive may have closed. Maybe Seattle would have taken to the Coyotes, but within five years the Sonics will likely be back, and the hockey team might not be faring much better than they currently are in Glendale. I'm not calling for the Coyotes to stay in the desert, but I don't think moving them to Seattle would be a good option, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I'm not sure why this was news. Back when we were all watching the live stream the consensus was if Glendale didn't vote for that act of stupidity the team was gone.

Gothamite Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I think it's news that the league was actually ready to load trucks. That's a new detail. We knew that if the vote failed the team would move, but we didn't know that if the vote failed the team would move that day. But yeah, the basic idea was already known.

Sodboy13 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 KeyArena, in its "best" configuration for hockey, holds about 11,000. It was deemed no longer good enough for the WHL a few years back. It is not good enough for the NHL unless a shiny new rink is guaranteed to open within two seasins of a team arriving.

Misleading thread title aside.^^^This. Granted I trolled ya a little on the headline, but the real story was just how close the move really was. Not one of us anticipated that had that vote gone down, we'd have had another Bob Irsay-like evacuation on our hands then and there. Would've been fun to watch, though.

And who calls owning the Phoenix Arizona Coyotes a "dream?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
