Man it’ll be harder for me to attend games based on price and availability as opposed to GRA, but I’m glad the team is finally turning a profit

Fuck Katie Strang, and fuck the kings. This is great news, though for anyone who follows, not unexpected.
They were always going to sell the shit out of that building, even with higher prices.

Who would have thought? Top 5 population center in the US with lots of transplants and growing number of high salary positions and high profile companies. Never saw that coming…

The article states
« To compensate for the smaller capacity — the building in Glendale, formerly Gila River Arena and now Desert Diamond Arena, held 17,125 for hockey — the Coyotes priced every seat outside of the ASU student section as a lower bowl seat. The average ticket price at their former arena was in the $90 range. The average ticket price at Mullett Arena is $170. The NHL average is $154.
Because of that pricing, Gutierrez said the Coyotes have generated 50% more revenue from all their season-ticket plans than « we ever did in the history » of the Glendale arena. »
So it’s their season ticket holders who are generating a higher revenue per plan. Not the team is receiving a total that’s more now than before. The coyotes averaged 12-13k fans. Now they will max out at 5k. Thats old avg price 90 * 12,500 = 1,125,000 vs new avg 170 * 5000 = 850,000.
The headline OP made is misleading. Even the articles headline is Arizona Coyotes expect to sell out every home game at ASU, say season-ticket revenue up 50% over Glendale arena. Specifically noting season ticket holders.
I’m guessing this means that naming rights aren’t going to be a thing for this arena?
Note: I will forever associate this stadium with the best hairstyle known to man and sincerely hope that the next time I visit AZ for a game that everyone dons the sacred mullet.

For those also curious why the name of the arena is amazing:
