  1. This was so overdue, still can’t believe they were thrown out of Glendale. I think Arizona is a great state, unfortunately if the ownership isn’t there and a functioning arena then there isn’t much can do. And I disagree relocation is worse thing a fan can hear. Oakland Athletics fans at least never have watch their team wear gross advertisement patch on their uniforms, IMO that is a win. As a Detroit sports fan, I would love see the Pistons leave town, I hate current NBA and Pistons provided me 3 NBA Championships, 5 Eastern Conference Championships. Franchise died when long time owner William Davidson passed away in March, 2009. The Pistons haven’t won a playoff game since game 4 of the 2008 Eastern Conference Finals, they’re now squatters playing in the Red Wings Little Caesars Arena, leaving the state of the art Palace of Auburn Hills that William Davidson funded without any tax payer funds in 1988. I guess being 42, sports in general aren’t what they used be growing up, i would be fine if any of my teams moved, maybe except the Lions because they’ve never won a Super Bowl and are coming off a NFC Championship Game appearance. The fans of Arizona will be fine, the Suns, DBacks both recently played in the NBA Finals, World Series. I’m old enough remember the Winnipeg Jets before they moved to Arizona becoming the Phoenix Coyotes in 1996-97, signing Jeremy Roenick their first year go along with Teemu Selanne, Brett Hull even finished his career there, Wayne Gretzky coached there, so the Coyotes tried, unfortunately their best season was 2012, winning only division championship in franchise history and were swept in Western Conference Finals by eventual Stanley Cup Champion Los Angeles Kings.

  2. The MLB stadium is a completely different group. The Larry H. Miller family are the ones doing the baseball stuff so I don’t think this will affect that

  3. Difficult arena deals are difficult for every fan base. Most teams leave their city based on one of two reasons: 1) arena deal issues; 2) poor ticket sales.

  4. the NHL did absolutely everything it could do to keep the Yotes in the desert, surprised they lasted as long as they did

  5. You are wrong, June 27th does matter, cuz if they win the land, they are still gonna build a new arena and have an expansion team in the next few years

  6. i am beyond pumped. flames fan from Calgary who moved here from Vancouver 1.5yrs ago, and it is so exciting. the yotes have such a talented young team, and there are tons of hockey fans here. tons of sports fans in general though. they are some of the most passionate fans I've ever seen here. super excited for an NHL club. HOPEFULLY they name them the Utah Yeti cause that is snappy as hell and sounds sick

  7. Considering there was an NHL team in Hartford for 18 seasons, Salt Lake City should be large enough to support a team. I think the Utah Coyotes is a fine name for a team, although if it must be renamed, then the Utah Beehive would be an interesting choice.

    In my opinion, SLC is too small for a MLB team though. I think the next two cities to get an MLB team should be Charlotte or San Antonio.

  8. SLC will do well. I will miss the easy flights to the desert to see my oilers play. But I will also trave to Utah for a game.

  9. Interested to see whether Salt Lake City’s NHL addition has an impact on them getting an MLB team. If not, would it be Nashville and Charlotte getting MLB expansion teams?

  10. I am skeptical it's going to work out but whatever. Should have moved to a larger market like Houston or San Diego.
