I feel terrible for you guys. So many lives revolve around the Yotes being in Arizona. It stings that not only the city of Phoenix but now also the people of Tempe have rejected NHL hockey in the desert. Unfortunately, it looks like the franchise is going to move on to a new location. Best of luck and much love from Germany.
At 4:31 - when it was realized that the Coyotes will be relocating to Houston and the Tempe dump will be saved! Let’s go Aeros, our pals in Tempe and the Dump!! #Don’tHockeyMyDump
This guy is NUTS , in the small print it was going to cost the TAX PAYERS $500 MILLION thats not counting the $50 Million they got a few years back . Why not both of you had over your house or cars to the cause .
As an Avs fan I didn't pay much attention to this but it seems that the deal was much less dependant on tax payers's money than some other cases. So sorry for you guys. Yotes would always show up against the Avs, a real kryptonite for our championship team last season. If American sports had a multi-tier league system like Europe, there would be enough space for teams in Tempe, Houston, Quebec, Atlanta, Milwaukee, Portland, Anchorage, St. Johns etc. at the same time. The pain of seeing your team being relocated would be history. But billionaire owners have a problem with it: it guarantees them less money, too many uncertainties when it comes to profit. That's why US billionaires buying soccer clubs in Europe are pushing for the Super League, which is met with backlash from local fans. When it should be the opposite: US fans should advocate for the multi-tier system and defeat them on their home turf.
Sorry, if it wasn't for Gary Bettman, this team would have left a long time ago. He never tried hard to save Winnipeg and Quebec in Canada before. He'll do anything to keep it in Arizona to save face.
Another Canuck whining about Quebec. Bettman does what the owners tell him. The owners don't want Quebec. The Tempe voters have spoken. Houston and Kansas City are ready and able and itis time to move on. I do feel bad for the Coyote fans.
@@penguinsfan251 If it wasn't for Bettman, Yankee, the Coyotes would have been long, long , long gone. That's truth, Yankee. You feel bad for the Coyote fans? Think about all those Jet fans back in the 90's. They didn't even get a chance back then.
Always loved the Coyotes. Hopefully the new owner for the suns say yes to share the building. Possible not probable you guys have the desert dogs for much longer 😢 Chicago is rooting for you to stay. Go Hawks.
Because these cities cannot afford to pay these billionaire owners when they barely can pay their teachers, first responders, their schools. That's why. You think Tempe is going to crumble and die because a hockey team doesnt play 41 times a year in an arena? Tempe voters are right on this one. Let the owners build their own arenas. It should be illegal for sports leagues to get taxpayer money for anything!!
@@danangell5482 smaller percentage of more economic activity is still more tax revenue. Also the tax breaks were in part to pay back the 100 million dollar bond to pay for the public utilities ao that they wouldn't have to be paid for from city budget.
You just don't want to lose your jobs. I live in Houston. We will take care of your team. You can move to Houston, start a podcast here. We are very welcoming.
@@DaryMatera Actually it is you guys who don't want this team... From Phoenix to Glendale, to Tempe. Don't you think 25 years is enough time, seriously. 🤦
@@Kaijuus Coyotes struggled in AZ virtually all because of bad arenas, dumb politicians, and whacko locations: Suns arena with thousands of obscured viewing seats and slushy ice; Glendale in the far wild, wild west valley with one clogged route in and out during rush hour via the trans-America trucking freeway of I-10; recently at a small college den on the Arizona State University campus with little parking. The arena should have been built in South Scottsdale 25 years ago where it was originally proposed to take over a sprawling giant dying strip mall. Would have thrived there. Short commute to coach Wayne Gretzky's Paradise Valley mansion. You heard of Wayne, right?
Give me a break😂. The only people that go to these games are transplants from back East or Canada. They all just wanted to see their home team play. They could give AF about the coyotes. Now you can make it a fun planned trip to Vegas or the Honda center😂.
Ironically, a pack of six actual mangey coyotes living in baked desert scrub brush won out over the half-billion dollar hockey team that has them as their mascot.
I was always supportive and trusting of Xavier but unfortunately he and his advisors really dropped the ball. Vastly underestimated the depth of the opposition’s pockets and their willingness to play dirty on the campaign trail. If Meruelo is truly committed to finding a viable home in the valley, first order of business has to be firing Mr Gutierrez, no? A personal statement from Meruelo hopefully reiterating his commitment to the Valley would also be appreciated…
@@danangell5482 It ain't about economics! It's about being Woke! Go woke, go happily broke, get ruled by know-it-all Democrats! Get all those Russian hockey players to sport rainbow activists sweaters! Putin won't mind.
You're only correct statements are they dropped the ball and that greasy pres Xavier should be fired. That's funny you think a billionaires campaign had less money than a grassroots one did. Even if you were right that would be even worse for you because shows how much Muerelo could care less about one of the worst teams in the league 😂😆
Flagstaff would be more weather appropriate. Trouble is there are more Bigfoots in Flag than hockey fans. Although I'm sure they could easily build a rink inside the world famous Walkup Skydome!
Native Av's fan but lived in Phoenix for a couple years while in college. This sucks and I feel for you. Such a weird dynamic in Arizona given the wide urban sprawl. There's enough fans to pack three stadiums but nobody seems to want them. I think the Av's will start to slide here in the next 5 years and I'm hoping to see Arizona on the come up in their place.
@@penguinsfan251 You'd think a Penguins fan would be more empathetic to those cities, given that it could have easily been the Penguins flying west if not for Lemieux.
Salt Lake City doesn't' have a market. Yes, there are many very wealthy people there. But the majority of the public and target fans live paycheck to paycheck and have huge mortgages. Very expensive city to live. Just don't think that is a viable market.
@@ugiswrong Yeah, better to live in a steamy, yellow fever mosquito infested swamp in other areas of the country. With Amos Moses knocking alligators in the head with a stump!
The whole state should have been allowed to vote. I'm nearby in mesa and couldn't vote yes. Its ridiculous that only tempe residents could vote when the whole state benefits. Tempe is a bunch of young hippies that are not gonna vote yes
@@danangell5482 I'm right next door. I shop in tempe and pay sales tax there. So in a way my money is being spent yes. What happens in Tempe also affects nearby cities only divided by an invisible line. They aren't the Tempe coyotes they are the Arizona Coyotes
@@diceman99 So then no, you wouldn't have been on the hook for the cost if and when it ran into problems. As such, you shouldn't have had a voice on this.
So sorry guys. I'm praying for a good outcome for you. Chicago fans support you.
Y'all lost. Bring them to Chicago

The Munich Coyotes sounds good. Do you have coyotes in Munich?
A clear-headed response unlike anyone in this podcast or usual sports fans. Time for the yotes and their fans to move on, we have spoken.

You can have them, thanks!
You're welcome. We don't need or want them.
Feel for you guys.
I feel hilarious feelings for them too.
this was a fascinating watch
Hilarious*
Sad to see this. It is never fun to see a fanbase feel like their team might leave. Hoping for the best.
Feeling bad for you guys and all Coyotes fans
Fan bro.. coyote fan
Try supporting a better team with a better owner 🤓

Misinformation killed the deal
Yeah if Muerelo was more honest coyotes may have won, you're right! 😂
well the people have spoken so the NHL will be leaving Arizona this summer.....
1 more year apparently
Good riddance 🎉
Good

Matty Ish ain't sharing jack. Not even an errant basketball in the stands.
Hopefully not, phoenix already said no once, time for the yotes and their fans to take a hint. Door's closed.
@@owengambardello6485 Why are you a fan of the Coyotes with their long history of sucking? Just so the Flyers can beat on them?
Can anybody explain why people rejected it?I honestly don't understand
Traffic and in that area it would be hell to enjoy because temple streets are small

@@sweetmapleleafs you literally prevented the owner from building an arena with his own money. Stop lying.
@@blegi1245 His own money? Please. It would have been paid for with tax breaks that would have left Tempe taxpayers on the hook.

So Quebec has the fan base but no money for the stadium. Phoenix has the money but not the fan base. That sucks.
Quebec has the arena. It's the money for expansion/relocation fees that is the sticking point.

Voters never vote for tax money for pro sports anymore.
As much as I don’t think the NHL shouldn’t be in Phoenix metro, I do feel bad for you guys and the fans who do support this team.
They should support a better team and owner, we don't want hockey in the desert, photos have spoken.
They should go to Tucson.

feel for you from a Ducks fan

Maybe people just don’t want to have a bigger city
This sucks for Az fans . . damn it
Isn’t this supposed to be a private funded venue? What convinced voters to say no other than traffic?
Key words: "supposed to be".
The Arizona State University environmentalist crowd found a family of scorpions living on the land under a rock and nixed it.
The team and owner itself lol, easy decision

The Phoenix area needs more dying strip malls. Those always get approved. Not enough Dollar Stores to handle the mobs of illegals.
