When IceArizona’s potential partnership with Arizona State University went underwater, the Arizona Coyotes’ ownership alluded to the possibility of other sites. We now appear to know one of those options.
The Arizona Republic reported late yesterday evening that representatives from IceArizona communicated with the City of Mesa about a possible arena site at Sloan Park, the current home of the Chicago Cubs during Spring Training. According to the Republic, Coyotes’ representatives inquired about Mesa’s current transportation and hotel taxes, while also contacting legal counsel for the Cubs.
Sloan Park is not terribly far away from the previous site on Karsten Golf Course.
