Sorry to you desert hockey fans that are having to face another hurdle.
How did our ownership just keep getting worse. Truly incredible. f*** Maruelo.
How is this AM fault? Couldn't this have been addressed months ago?How did our ownership just keep getting worse. Truly incredible. f*** Maruelo.
Katie Hobbs, Kate Gallego. Enough said. Good job Arizona. Stupidity at it's finest on display.
Who's the mayor of COP? The buck stops with her. Why wasn't this asked for months ago?This isn’t on them Jakey.

Numb is putting it lightly. Like I said before, it's almost impossible to do business in AZ and /or get anything done because of our political climate right now.I am completely numb at this point.
Only thing i care about is that the utah project crashes and burns down to the ground.
AM needs the zoning issue resolved asap. But i expect that to not happen and if it would, it would take forever. So its over.
How in hell can you point fingers at AM for any of this?I want an announcement that meruelo has ceded all ownership of the brand and is walking away TODAY. He is the most irresponsible, reckless, incompetent, vapid, vacuous owner in the history of North American professional sports.

Full release from the land trust…

That was my initial thought as well. Saving AM from himself? Or, saving the state from AM?My wildest guess is it ties in with the zoning issue.
The land isn’t zoned for an arena, so COP wants a permit now.
Because AM is an asshat!Who's the mayor of COP? The buck stops with her. Why wasn't this asked for months ago?
I have never heard of applying for a permit on land you don't own. This should have all be stipulated in the auction packet if that was what they wanted. Sounds like AM was the only applicant. State probably thought there would be a bidding war. Why should anyone be surprised, really.There is one small bright spot in this latest hilariously stupid gaffe - the fact that the Land Trust wants Meruelo to apply for a permit to actually build an arena and not just commercial development on the land.
Maybe a question we should be asking is why Meruelo didn't apply for that permit in the initial filing...

Exactly.Wow, picked a good time to check this thread again after 2 days...
I know it's chump change, but why pay for a permit if you don't win the land auction?
