Arizona vote fails
In the first release of results from a poll on Tuesday, voters in the Phoenix suburb of Tempe fiercely opposed three proposals to build a $2.3 billion recreation area that would include a new arena for coyotes.
Opposition to all three proposals led by double digits over those in favor, with only ballots dropped on Tuesday left to count.
“The National Hockey League is terribly disappointed with the results of the public referendum on the Coyotes Arena project in Tempe,” said NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman. “We will review with the Coyotes what the options might be going forward.”
The vote took place after the city of Phoenix and Sky Harbor International Airport expressed concerns about residences that were part of the project in a high-noise area under the airport’s flight path.
The Coyotes hoped the new arena in Tempe would finally allow the franchise to settle down after playing in three different venues since moving to Arizona.
