Next Tuesday is faceoff time for the current Glendale City Council on the proposed $320 million arena-management agreement with Coyotes suitor Greg Jamison.
If the council rejects the deal, the fate of the arena and the Coyotes might be decided by a new lineup of city council members who take office Jan. 15. Based on statements made during the campaign, a majority of the new council would likely oppose the Jamison deal.
On Tuesday night, Jamison said he is still prepared to buy the team, reports The Arizona Republic.
“We fully intended to buy the team, but we are waiting for the vote and then we will move as quickly as we possibly can,” Jamison said.
City Council approval of this agreement is a critical step toward bringing the Coyotes’ three-year ownership woes to a close and keeping the team in Arizona.
