Sodboy13 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 My issue with it remains that it's what, 40 miles from downtown? Hilariously underserved by public transportation? It's a Party Zone in the middle of nowhere, and it encourages people who go there to drive home pissed to the gills. It's a strip mall and an enabler all in one.It's just like one of those "desert raves" from back in the nineties, only this time there's a Cabela's!

DEAD! Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I'll admit, I was in Phoenix this past weekend. (I was there to visit a family friend and I didn't go anywhere near Glendale) I checked the distance from downtown to Glendale, and it seems like it's no different than my drive to work, but because of it's western location and rush hour traffic, I can now see why someone from Scottsdale or Mesa would hesitate to drive there.

The_Admiral Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 But no one's watching on TV, either.I'm watching tonight, though! I wish I weren't. The Coyotes are sludge on skates and there's hardly anyone there. I don't like it when hockey fills me with despair.

Sodboy13 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Decent turnout by Hawks fans for a Tuesday night in Glendale. They seem to handle the commute better than the locals do.

Still MIGHTY Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Yeah you can't see them in the picture there, but there are condo/apartments there.The complex is called Pillar at Westgate, if you're really interested in looking it up.

RyanMcD29 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I wonder if during the Holidays the AMC gets filled up with more people watching the latest Harry Potter or w/e Fall/Christmas blockbusters than there are people going to Jobing.com Arena for the Coyotes/Yes I should be the last person to say something like that as an Islander fan//No I don't care.

Still MIGHTY Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Also, because I know you all are interested in these things, I went to the Jets/Coyotes game on Saturday, and parking is still free. And as long as you don't turn down the "streets" that funnel you to the hockey parking lot, then you can park right next to the movie theaters and such.Even if the Yotes started to charge for parking, people would either go across the street to Cabela's/Cracker Barrel or just park next to the movie theaters. Unless they want you to pay to park for the freaking movie theater.

Still MIGHTY Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 So, even though it's one block farther away, you can park for free for Arizona Cardinals games?You know what I hadn't ever noticed or not, but I just looked it up on the Cardinals website. The parking lots around the Westgate Center are parking lots that you need a pass for. Season ticket holders get a pass and you can buy a pass for the game. But then it looks like there are some parts of the Westgate lots that aren't part of the parking pass area. (A majority of it is pass areas though.)I've never really paid attention to all that part though, because I just drive by it when going to Cardinals games. My family has season tickets, so we have the parking passes.There are some free lots not that much farther away that the Cardinals provide a shuttle service for too.But really from what I can see, basically the entire Westgate area is practically made into a Cardinals pre-game area. In theory if there was someone who wanted to go see a movie or shop there or whatever during a Cardinals game (there are some people that DON'T like sports ), it looks like they probably just wouldn't be able to. Practically blocked off. It's only for 10 Sundays a year, so that's obviously much more manageable than 41 Coyotes dates.

The_Admiral Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 He gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Gary Bettman.

Still MIGHTY Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Holy Christ... I was perusing the Coyotes website for tonight's attendance vs Chicago (11,051, btw), and I found an article today about the Coyotes changing the location of their morning skate from Jobing.com Arena in Glendale to their practice rink, Ice Den, in Scottsdale.The Coyotes on Tuesday altered their game day routine from recent past seasons by holding their morning skate at the Ice Den in Scottsdale instead of at Jobing.com Arena.Since the players live closer to the Ice Den than Jobing.com Arena, the thinking is it may be wiser to have them make the 65-mile round-trip from Scottsdale to Glendale only once instead of twice on game days. “We just feel like we could accomplish more right here,” Head Coach Dave Tippett said from the Ice Den on Tuesday. “We’re always looking to try and move ahead and get better, and this is just something we’re going to try this year for a little bit.” The players like the idea.“I think it’s great,” forward Paul Bissonnette said. “It’s extremely more convenient in terms of travel and rest time. It’s a good routine.”Coyotes captain Shane Doan likes the fact that the schedule is looser at the Ice Den and that there isn’t a rush to get off the ice so the other team can get on. “You're always trying to find any advantage possible and if this gives us an advantage than I’m the biggest fan of it,” Doan said. “I do think it is an advantage (in theory), but the proof will be in the pudding.”The Coyotes lost Tuesday's game to Chicago, 5-2.1) The players don't even like driving out there, apparently.2) Shut up, Shane.
