Reality is not: Well, Glendale can chip in $15M a year just to have a team, plus the team gets all the revenue from the arena.
No. What I am saying is: Face the reality. Can someone see a way to make it work? That's reality.
You noticed?
My question of the day is... how long before kdb's summary post takes up an entire page....
I think he needs to do a take-off on American Pie and we will be there for sure.

#Glendale council expected to review a draft lease & non-relo agreement w Jamison in closed session today. Formal vote day after Mem Day?
Well once they have the vote we will at least start going down the path...next up Goldwater!
If Jamison is dumb enough to sign a lease with a non-relocation agreement, then let him buy the team and go bankrupt in a few years, so the NHL is still stuck with the team once again!
Playoffs Lure Coyotes Buyer As Losses Force City Firings

Looks like Glendale well on way to being the financial laughing stock of all North American cities!
“The long-term question is the viability of a Phoenix ice- hockey team,†James said. “Can ice hockey work in Phoenix and generate a large enough revenue stream?â€
Quoting from that article the James guy says:
lmao. He calls HOCKEY "ice hockey".
Dammit Jim, I'm a hockey fan, not a doctor.
James is a laughing stock to me, for expressing an opinion about 'ice hockey'. Someone tell him we have this thing in Arizona called 'air-conditioning'. Maybe one of his Canadian friends can whisper him to call it 'hockey'.
Here's an idear - dig a deep hole and dump all those pinheads in it and then seal it with fast set concrete. And if you do it close enough to UoP stadium, we can let Cardinals fans park on top. Now I don't care who you are dat dere's funny.

It has been discussed on here the fact that with the extra playoff games the Coyotes are playing, that losses for the season will be reduced. Given these are "bonus" revenue games being played, it makes sense to say this. But when you read something like this:

This NHL postseason, the Coyotes have advanced further than any other year. As a result, the team has been playing in Arizona later than usual. Jobing.com crews have kept air conditioning high and carefully scheduled deliveries to preserve the cold air. Meanwhile, the outside temperature Tuesday is expected to be 107 degrees. The last game they played Sunday, the outside heat measured a dry 105 degrees. Before each game, workers are adjusting settings for temperature, humidity and dew point. According to the NHL, an arena should be about 60 degrees with 40 percent humidity and a dew point at 35 degrees.
You have to wonder just how much the Coyotes are making after all the expenses are taken into account. With these temps and NHL requirements, it must be costing quite a bit to keep the building and ice in a playable condition as compared to the Coyotes take in from ticket sales.
Yes of course, what was he thinking? that all readers of Bloomberg news understand that there is an ice hockey team in the desert? no one could have mistaken it for Ohhh let's say, field hockey or roller hockey for example?
Stop with the character assasination. It just makes you look bad.
This Bloomberg thing appears to be an American publication. *Ice* hockey is the standard in North America. Yes, field, roller, ball, floor, street, hands-and-knees etc. hockeys all exist, but when you say "hockey," the assumption is, by the vast majority of people in Canada and the US, that we're not talking about ****ing *roller* hockey.
It's like football. In Canada and the US, you say "football" and you mean the game where fat guys jump on each other and do a lot of standing around. If you say "football" in pretty much every other part of the world, it means "soccer."
People broadcasting NFL or CFL games, or people just commenting on the sport in the media, don't need to be specific about what *kind* of football it is, because "American" football is the standard. Most of us in Canada and the US don't refer to soccer as "football," so there's no need to further describe it. Football is football, and everyone understands it as such.
If you were reading the media in the UK, you would assume "football" to mean "soccer." They wouldn't have to explain it.
Hockey is hockey. Anyone who thinks they need to add "ice" to the name is either *very* unfamiliar with the game or is just a moron.

For what it's worth, the "ice hockey" quote was by an economics professor at Arizona State. It's still irrelevant... the question is whether what he's saying about the team's and the city's finances is accurate, and it sure looks that way.
people used to say that about Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley tooMorons don't usually get hired by Bloomberg.

What better way is there to get out from under 108 degree heat in May than to go watch a hockey game???

Sensible and true.
