The latest twist in the drama surrounding the Arizona Coyotes arena involves a potential landing spot on tribal lands in the northeast Valley, according to reports.
But is that new? We've known since the spring that NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman thinks the Coyotes "cannot and will not remain in Glendale."
We've known since the summer that Suns owner Robert Sarver has no desire for a shared facility. And we've known since approximately 1912 that the prospects of public funding for arenas in Arizona are extremely limited.
Still, people perked up when Fox 10 sports reporter Jude LaCava began sharing news that Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community leaders might be willing to facilitate a solution for the Coyotes.
