640 acres (?) Greyhound park hasn't been mentioned in awhile.

Maricopa (City) now has over 65,000 people. It was a gas station and a red light on the way to Ak-Chin casino when I moved here. ("why is this SR 347 4-lane? there's no one here!") San Tan Valley is at almost 100,000. Coolidge, Florence (including the second Anthem!) and Eloy are all going to be huge later this century. Ever heard of Stanfield? You will. Unless Maricopa reaches down and gobbles it up first.

Coolidge building 20k homes on next 2 yrs. They are going to extend Arizona Ave into a mini freeway. Construction starting in October. 2 golf courses being built outside sacaton and Coolidge.

There is a beautiful football field along a mountain off hunt. Starting play this season.

Phoenix Rising FC is already there. I didn't look closely but I imagine that takes up most of it.

(They really should change their name to Phoenix Wanderers FC, lol. 3 homes in what 5 years)

Its growing cause of laundering money schemes and the chinese gobbling up land for resell.

Gotta get rid of them before the bubble burst and we experience another housing crisis.

Another reason why ppl enjoy the s valley is the open land. The cheap taxes. Well governed council and businesses from Canada competing with the horrible American and Mexican companies.

Circle K a Canadian company is the only place to fill up. Cheaper. Better service.

You are right. The only issue they will have is where the restaurants stand. They are in good area where retail commercial towers can be built and they will have to widen parts of roads.

Possibly even create a new road off 60 directly onto the arenas front steps.

It’d be sad that they’d probably have to knock down that in n out and Dutch bros though. Those two locations run that street currently lol

Nah, anything right up against Alma School or Southern like that would be fine.

Taking Karsten? I think ASU still owns that? Not sure.

Reading this is like the Twilight Zone

Arizona Coyotes announce new arena plans for NHL, ASU hockey - The Arizona State Press

The Coyotes plan to construct hockey facilities for both NHL and college games on ASU Karsten Golf Course in Tempe.

Yes.... Exactly that. Didn't pass muster the first time because IceEdge needed a ton of subsidies right? It would also count as funny because it is still in Tempe, and an old option. ASU doesn't need a public vote, just board of governors approval. Keeps that ASU/Tempe thing going. Serves as home for ASU basketball too. They tear down their current arena and build a dorm or more corporate offices there.

I don't know if any of y'all have ever been to United Center in Chicago. I've been to a handful of games there. That thing is a biblical pain in the ass to get to. If you drive, you're either taking packed one way city streets at rush hour, or going through inbound congestion on the Kennedy (hard no, thats a f***in death trap). It's in a terribly run down neighborhood in the West Loop with the only public transportation still being three to four city blocks away and a homeless camp just two blocks to the North that pops up every other two weeks after the city sweeps it out. The most consistent option if you're coming from the suburbs is to take a 25 dollar cab ride from the Ogilvy center or Union Station after a 30-45 minute train ride (that was likely that amount of time behind schedule.)

It sucks.

I'd be ecstatic with that Fiesta Mall locale my dudes.

Or Metrocenter. It is being demolished right now and a light rail train station there is finished.

ASU has a master planner for that site. You have to go through them, then get ASU to approve, then the AZBOR.

Not that simple.

Metrocenter is too far into the process to backup.

Post Rick-roll..

Whats so special about Tempe? Mills ave died 15 yrs ago. It was a place anyone can go. Even the water way has been great. But its turned into a frat neighborhood and there just isn't much to do there.

Phoenix sports fans dont arrive early stay late.
Suns fans leave downtown after the game.

If anything downtown Phoenix should want coyotes over suns as their fan demographic is better suited for the downtown establishment.

Hahaha what even?!

They’re off the chain….

5 yrs ago I went to a hawks game(in April and it was still fricking freezing, Mr. Bigglesworth) with my buddy who lived almost on the lake (the ironically named Chandler Condominiums - he has since given up and moved to Naperville). We took a bus out there, which wasn't terrible, but we Uber'ed it back. Seemed like the prudent decision, plus it was too cold for the baddies to hang around and mug us or whatever, lol.

The good news is there isn’t a 8-9mo toxic waste dump remediation project any longer. And they aren’t likely to do anything involving the voters again. So thing will necessarily be accelerated.

*In such specific cases as this

That would have been the way to get people interested in the Vote.
Memes and links to Sites with serious information.

That works really Well.

Paywalled with this if anyone can share. But still, AZ Central - why even open your mouth here?

My businees had season tickets to hawks games last 8 years, it is a nightmare to get there and not safe 2 blocks from the United center. The logic does not work in AZ, people live here to get away from bad weather and long commutes, they want a better life, long drives don't work over a season for Phoenix residents.

90% of the snowbirds live in the east valley. I think the location is fine, it's what is surrounding it that worries me, low income and all. Has much more room to build than TED and it could be a big upgrade for Mesa to brag about, but again that area.
