The Arizona Coyotes missed the net in their first bid to move closer to their fan base by building a new arena in Tempe when Arizona State University announced it had no plans to pursue a development agreement with the team.
In November, ASU entered into an exclusive negotiating agreement with the team to produce a development plan on a 58-acre site that would be part of ASU’s landmark sports facilities district. The arena would have been built at the present site of the back nine holes at ASU’s Karsten Golf Course, across from Tempe Marketplace.
