Progress on Coyotes' Visitors Spaces is Cause for Concern w/ Home Opener Two Days Away
The Arizona Coyotes' temporary home -- Arizona State's Mullett Arena -- was flagged by the NHL as insufficient, specifically with regards to standards of amenities for visiting teams. The team was forced to make alterations to the facility before their first home game, which is scheduled for this Friday.
A video surfaced today of the progress of said alterations and highlights a potential problem: the odds of this place being ready by Friday seem fairly low.
Having grown up on construction sites, the Coyotes have a long way to go in making this place 'game' ready for the Winnipeg Jets (ah, the irony) this Friday and the New York Rangers on Sunday. They likely need to install rubber matting, adequate training space, rehab equipment, and any other visitors' amenities required by the NHL.
Short of a miracle, I just don't see how this gets done by Friday.
This is another stroke of humiliation for the Arizona Coyotes' organization. Playing in a college rink is rough enough as it is, but not having the construction done when they had nearly a full month to catch up just shows how operationally sound the club is.
Commissioner Gary Bettman has maintained his support of the Coyotes' franchise, but time is ticking...
