You know, I've always wondered, why did the Suns and Coyotes not share one arena? Always seemed stupid to me, or was that just Glendale offering the Coyotes a sweetheart deal to move away from downtown.

Speaking of that, besides Phoenix, there are two other cities (three debateable) that has each pro team in different arenas. Go.

they both played downtown where the suns play but the arena isn't fit for hockey, one end of the ice couldn't be seen from the upper deck

the new hockey arena should have been downtown but glendale offered the deal. it's just such a long drive from the east valley where a ton of the $$$ is around here, pretty much sucks to have to drive an hour+ each way during rush hour from scottsdale/mesa/chandler/gilbert, where a bunch of the youth hockey types are

Tampa rays dome is in a similar situation I believe.. I know it's in st Pete and not near downtown.. The hockey stadium is downtown and they get a decent crowd..

That's like the arena here. 40 minutes (on a good day) from the core and another 20 minutes just to get out of the parking lot at the end of the game.
 
nets offense has a lot to work on

i wonder if kidd will have any impact when hes on the sidelines
 
Funny thing is, I read Detroit's planning on building a new hockey arena downtown. City's bankrupt and this is how they plan on using taxpayer money...

I know a lot of people feel this way... Lots of politicians need their palms grease however when you bring 18k people in the city every game it's worth it
