When the City of Glendale receives bids from companies hoping to manage Gila River Arena, the Coyotes won’t be among them.
“The Coyotes have no intention of participating in the Glendale RFP (request for proposal),” Coyotes president, CEO and co-owner Anthony LeBlanc said Wednesday in a terse and brief response.
The Glendale City Council voted last week to hire Beacon Sports Capital Partners LLC as a consultant to seek bidders to manage the arena. The new manager could take over as early as July 2016. IceArizona, the Coyotes’ ownership group, has managed the arena the past two years.
