This sucks, love the location across from the Cardinals' stadium and within a nice entertainment district. Tempe might be cool though.

The city of Glendale said it will “not renew the operating agreement” with the Arizona Coyotes to use the NHL team’s home, Gila River Arena, after the 2021-22 season.
In a Twitter thread, Glendale said it informed the Coyotes this year will be its last at the arena that opened in 2003.
The city said its decision was due to “increased focus on larger, more impactful events and uses of the city-owner arena.”
The Coyotes confirmed in July that they were in discussions with the city of Tempe on a development space where the franchise could put a new arena.
Tempe also confirmed the request for proposals (RFP) on a spot in the East Valley.
Based on the site’s location, the Coyotes are highly interested in this development opportunity and will be responding to the City of Tempe’s request for proposal. Given our determination to remain in the Valley for many years to come, we are actively working to identify the best long-term home for the Coyotes, our devoted fans and this great community.
