State Cancels Key Land Auction, Threatening Arizona Coyotes' Future
The Arizona State Land Department has canceled a crucial land auction needed for the Arizona Coyotes to construct a new arena, significantly impacting the team's chances of returning to the Phoenix area. The department cited the need for a Special Use Permit before proceeding with the auction. The Coyotes now face a tight deadline to secure a new land deal and complete 50% of the arena by December 31, 2027, to reactivate the team.
