Welcome to (failed) TED Talk - TED is dead.

Google tells me that the Fiesta Mall site is only 6 miles from Mullett. Is that that big of a deal?

Those are six hard miles.

 

[AZviaNJ]

Those are six hard miles.

12 hard minutes in rush hour!

If you're driving from Surprise, 6 more miles is NBD.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

LOL. Straight out of the crisis comms playbook.

You'd think so, but compared to that stretch, the preceding 25 miles are a cakewalk.

If you ever drove to Westgate from Chandler or Gilbert on the 10 and hit rush hour at the Stack, you know what I mean.

I use to drive a Super Shuttle out of Sky Harbor.

Holy shit, man - and you aren't a long-term resident of the booby hatch?! Serious props to you, dude, I would never be able to do that.

It was the late 80s though. Different traffic dynamic. 101, 202, and the 303 hadn't been built yet.

Morgan tweeting that Keller's dad's dead Twitter account was hacked was only slightly more predictable than Morgan tweeting that "there's a Plan B and maybe even a Plan C."

If this was a sitcom, people would stop watching because it's so goddamn stupid.

Is Mesa the next city on the Arizona Coyotes' radar? Here's how Mesa leaders are reacting

Arizona Coyotes will need to find a permanent home in the Valley following Tempe voter's rejection. Now eyes are turning to Mesa as possible option.

Not much really in this to go on. Other than there are the usual hurdles.

No. It’s not a big deal. Morgan routinely says 75% of the “premium” ticket buyers (I don’t know what this means) are in the “East Valley”. This location is in the center of the east valley.

This location is worse than TED. But it’s much, much, much, much better than Glendale.

Paywalled. Cliff’s?

This guy belongs on reality television. Haha.

 

[AZDesertKnight]

Who runs the AZ coyotes twitter? Just when you think you have hit rock bottom someone puts out a tweet like this..

uninformed Canadian media doesnt need anymore ammo..

I’m glad they’re going all in with this kind of tweet. It’s fun.

 

[rt]

I will say this about Fiesta Mall. It’s seems EXACTLY like the kind of news story that we’ll look back on in two years and say “remember when everyone thought the coyotes were going to play at Fiesta Mall?!?!? Hahahahhahah!!!”

 

[TheLegend]

Paywalled. Cliff’s?

Not much. Mayor's all for it. Said they also have other sites nearby available if not Fiesta. Couple of council members who responded seen positive. But nothing really happening yet.

Notes the Phoenix leaders who were positive yesterday about going back to Footprint have backed off a little after realizing the logistics involved. But still open to it.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

That's the important part!!!

Happy for you.

Is "account hacked" the North American version of "lost in translation"?

Most times, it's a euphemism for "Oh shit, I f***ed up but I don't want to take responsibility."

Interesting read. When the leader of the opposition lays out in professional sense how TempeWins screwed up.[/URL]

So same as when Eurpean Players talk to a reporter back home thinking it will never get back to North America.

Hmmm. Can we pretend that the Vote was hacked and that we won

I'm very interested in the fact that Phoenix isn't going to drop the lawsuit against Tempe until Tempe ditches the IGA so that Sky Harbor can build out its runways. Man, is Tempe ever up a creek now.

 

[InfoDesk]

Mesa mayor just on radio. Says Fiesta timing is perfect and many support it.

However mentioned 2 other sites as a possibility.

No address given. Lets guess.

 

[Art.Vandelay]

What am I missing here as Forbes has him in the top 100 richest Americans and worth over $8 billion??

Net worth does not necessarily mean liquid assets. It depends on his holdings.

 

[Dirty Old Man]

If Fiesta Mall happens, completing the light rail line to Chandler makes a lot of sense.

Lol just stop it, okay? Because that fantasy light rail stops a few hundred yards from my house and goes right to Coyotes games.

It would be like a Suns fan now living in those W6 towers in Tempe. Casual stroll to Valley Metro, dropped off a block from Footprint, after the game metro comes right to the sidewalk picks you up whisks you home.

That's the important part!!!


Happy for you.

I don’t know where that 75% number comes from or what it means. I’m assuming it means “a large majority of Coyotes fans are on the east side”. And if that’s true, then it must also be true that the 101/60 area is “closer” than Westgate for most Coyotes fans, right?

I’d like to look at this unemotionally. It seems likely to me that Awhatukee, Chandler, Tempe, Paradise Valley, Scottsdale, Mesa and Gilbert are the preferred suburbs to cater to, no? I could be wrong. And if I am, I hope you’ll show me that I am.
