If this is true, then I would sue the city. This not in good faith.
Sounds like they want to be asshats.

Or both??That was my initial thought as well. Saving AM from himself? Or, saving the state from AM?

I'm still rooting for the asshat, but wouldn't it have been prudent for him to address this issue with the state long ago? We all knew he would need this, so it seems to me that it would have been logical for him to get out in front of it sooner, rather than later..... I know I would have.

Bingo. If that truly was his intention, that should've been near the top of the list, if not priority #1.
He's never going to build here because he's never going to buy the land. No one should be surprised.
Maybe, probably. But bad things always happen with this ownership group. AM's strong-arm tactics rub everyone the wrong way....might be why there's obstacles and poison pills at every turn.

The permit is because the land isn’t zoned properly for an arena.
Sounds to me like a permit has less chance of trouble than getting the land actually re-zoned.
Rezoning can put you in referendum territory.
You can keep on pointing fingers at AM all you want, but you are the one losing out in the long run.Because AM is an asshat!

It’s COP…. Not the state.
State just wants to be sure something gets built on it right away.

Jake, come on. Our best chance of seeing NHL hockey in the desert anytime soon is for AM to go away. He's not building an arena in the Valley, it will never happen. If he had any sense of decency, he'd take his $1B payday for selling the team and just go away.

Yeah, my bad. I think the state just wants the money, but yes they do have build deadlines.
Again, I'm no lawyer, but how can anyone file for a permit on land you don't own? Wasn't AM told the land wasn't zoned for an arena and IF successful he would need a permit to build an arena, AND the permit was not guaranteed?
Well, I guess we will be seeing you in 15 yrs.

It does sound like the City changed the rules at the last minute here. Don't know the legalities of it, but the last thing AM needs is to tie this up in court for years and years.
Mods, this is why we can't shut F40 down. We have another 3.5 years of comic relief ahead of us.......

I resent how there's always something that keeps a tiny bit of hope alive for hockey in AZ that keeps me hanging on and enduring more punishment.

Who defuq is Rich Nairn?
And is Rich even a name? i thought its an adjective. Or a funny name for a satire/comedy movie like richy rich or something.
On a more serious note. Can AM even get a permit for land he doesn't own?
