The_Admiral Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 I'm sorry, I'm still in awe of Glendale's erstwhile crooked city attorney getting a job with the Coyotes. Not that he did -- I knew he would. I'm just awestruck by how amateur-hour he is about taking the gig. Tindall, a Phoenix resident, worked for about a month with the Phoenix law firm Fennemore Craig, before transitioning to the hockey team. He enjoyed working at the law firm, but the Coyotes presented a unique opportunity, he said. He attended a press conference at Jobing.com Arena on Aug. 6, when National Hockey League Commissioner Gary Bettman formally turned over ownership of the Coyotes to IceArizona, an investment group headed by Canadians George Gosbee and Anthony LeBlanc. “The opportunity came up with the new owners and I thought, ‘Well alright, I’ll give it a shot. It seems like fun,’” Tindall said. Yeah. Like he just wandered in and someone offered him a job. "hurr durr, seems like fun!" Chicago's paths from public corruption to private enrichment are so well-worn that no one really has to say anything as they go, so the artless brazenness on display here is just so jarring to me. I bet you could walk in on this guy nailing your wife from behind and he would say "you seem to have caught me trying to retrieve a pen I dropped, which I can't quite reach."

Sodboy13 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 "Hey," everyone said, "how are the Coyotes going to charge for parking when their lot is part of a large shopping complex?"Ut-oh!The best part is the Cardinals considering undercutting the Yotes on parking prices, because the part of the lot they control is actually closer to the hockey arena than the hockey team's spaces are. 2018 never felt so close.

Sodboy13 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 This specifically reminds me of the Lake County Fielders, who attempted to charge $5 for parking on a horrid lot made of crushed-up asphalt trucked in from a demolished parking lot elsewhere. Everybody just parked at the church a block down from the ballpark and walked.Except, in this case, the free parking will be closer to the stadium than the paid spots.

The_Admiral Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 I wonder what they're going to do with that ballpark now that the team is gone.

Sodboy13 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Are the rented bleachers still there, or is it just the diamond, backstop, fencing, and light poles? I was tempted to pull off and have a gander when I was driving up to Milwaukee a couple weeks ago.

TheOldRoman Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I will laugh for days if the Cardinals decide to offer $5 parking to undercut the Coyotes. But really, it won't make much of a difference anyway because the majority of the 6,000 or so attending any given game will just park in the free mall lots and get a Jamba Juice on their way to the game rather than paying $25 dollars to park.

Still MIGHTY Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 As one of the few people to be a multiple time patron of Jobing.com Arena and Coyotes games... Yeah, even when the game parking was free, it was still stupidly easy to avoid the "game lots" and just park in the far more convenient normal spots.Oh, this is truly hilarious.

The_Admiral Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 See, I was under the impression that the Whiz Kids shanghaied the entire Westgate parking complex and were going to make mall shoppers pay for parking. Seeing that this is not the case is really funny, and that's not even counting the possibility of the execrable Bidwills popping into the story to siphon off the parking money.

The_Admiral Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 If I remember the sketches correctly, the whole thing is going to look kind of like a big wood-paneled jellybean. Those are probably just big support columns that will be built around later. I like the idea of big watchtowers, though. They should have steeples!

The_Admiral Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 I don't love the Citadelles identity that much. The Nordiques were about as wonderfully idiosyncratic as a major league sports team could possibly be, right down to the fact that they played in a small French-speaking city that still has fortifications from the 17th century. The goat head is an objectively better logo, but it doesn't make you wonder what the hell is going on. s'just a goat.
