Glendale would spend $5.6 million per year to hire an arena-management company to run, home of the Arizona Coyotes, under a contract scheduled for a vote by the city council on Tuesday night.
The deal with Los Angeles-based AEG Facilities for operating the hockey and concert venue at Westgate Entertainment District is for five years with an optional five-year renewal.
If approved, the deal would mark the first time since the city-owned arena opened in 2003 that the National Hockey League team would not manage the facility.
