The Arizona Coyotes are back in the news for the wrong reasons again. Tonight, The Athletics’ Katie Strang reported that the team faces being locked out of their arena due to unpaid taxes.
The Coyotes organization has until December 20th to pay their outstanding bill or face being locked out of Gila River Arena.
PHNX’s Craig Morgan has confirmed the report and has provided updated quotes after speaking with Glendale City Manager Kevin Phelps.
Glendale city manager Kevin Phelps: “I think it is likely that for us to move forward, we’re going to need assurances that they’re not going to just rack up a huge bill and then walk out the door in June, owing the city a lot of money.
