Arizona Coyotes owner Alex Meruelo has announced that he did a thing! “The Coyotes remain committed to building the first privately funded sports facility in Arizona history and ensuring the Valley as the Club’s permanent home. In addition to this property in Mesa, the Club will continue to explore other potential sites in the East Valley.”Okay then! It may not seem like much, but anything that can be done to shift the public discourse from “Are we even still talking about a new Coyotes arena?” to “Where will the new Coyotes arena go?” is the first step toward jump-starting the whole process. The most important step, meanwhile, is finding someone to pay to build the thing.
